SNELL PRIZE IN EUROPEAN HISTORY, 2022

European History Section, Southern Historical Association

The John L. Snell Memorial Prize is named for Professor John L. Snell (1923-1972) who was a distinguished scholar and diplomatic historian and a founder of the European History Section.  A bomber pilot during World War II, he taught at Tulane University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he received his Ph.D. in 1950.

The Snell Prize is given annually to the graduate student who submits the best seminar research paper in European history, written within the past year.  “European” is defined as encompassing the entire continent, including Russia, from pre-history to the present.

The Prize winner will be honored at the annual lunch meeting of the Section in conjunction with the Southern Historical Association meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina, in November 2023.  The award carries a stipend of $100.  The Snell Award winner also receives one complimentary year of student membership in the European History Section of the Southern Historical Association.
