The BSLS and the JLS are very pleased to announce that the winner of this year’s essay prize is Sina Schuhmaier for her essay “Subject Formation in the Early Black Atlantic: Disease Narratives of the Middle Passage”.
The panel particularly commends the essay’s balance of scientific and medical history with wider questions about temporality, history, and racialisation, as well as it’s fresh perspective on the disease narrative.
Congratulation to Sina! You can read the winning essay in the latest issue of JLS.
