Hi, All, I wanted to share the call for submissions for this year's Tobin Siebers Prize. Please note that in the past, we've only reviewed full manuscripts for the prize. This year we're considering proposal packages consisting of a proposal and two sample chapters. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to be in touch. Very best, Sara *About the Tobin Siebers Prize* Submissions are now open for the 2022 Tobin Siebers Prize for Disability Studies in the Humanities. The prize is awarded in memory of disability studies pioneer Tobin Siebers <https://umich.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a4cd6f758656d0e1542fcb495&id=3a78543ed4&e=0f15574e5d>, Professor of English at the University of Michigan and author of many influential books and articles in the field of Disability Studies. The prize is awarded yearly for the best-proposed book-length manuscript on a topic of pressing urgency in the field (with the exception of 2020, due to the challenges presented by COVID-19).

The deadline is August 1, 2022; the winner will be announced in January 2023.
