ASAP Book Awards
Celebrating Excellence in Poverty Research
Journal ASAP, in partnership with Academics Stand Against Poverty and the Yale University Global Justice Program, confers annual awards for poverty-focused academic work.
The archived awards calls preserve three recurring categories:
- ASAP Lifetime Achievement Award
- ASAP Book of the Year Award for a poverty-related monograph
- ASAP Book of the Year Award for an edited collection of poverty-related essays
Eligible work may contribute to the definition, description, explanation, assessment, or eradication of poverty and to the overlapping challenges people face in nutrition, shelter, health care, sanitation, clothing and personal care, energy, education, social and political participation, physical safety, family planning, environmental hazards, working conditions, banking and credit, transportation, and communications.
Partnering in sponsoring the competition, Springer Nature awards winners books from its Sustainable Development Goals Series.
