The Pacific Sociological Association Distinguished Scholarship Award

The Distinguished Scholarship Award is given by the Pacific Sociological Association (PSA) to sociologists based in the Pacific region of North America, in recognition of major scholarly contributions.[1] To be eligible for the award, a sociologist's contribution must be embodied in a recently published book or through a series of articles with a common theme.[2]
