Zum Brinck / Places-Preis über den amerikanischen Südwesten

We are pleased to announce that proposals are now being accepted for the inaugural On the Brinck / Places Prize. A collaboration between Places Journal and the On the Brinck program at the School of Architecture + Planning at University of New Mexico, the prize supports ambitious public scholarship focused on the Southwestern region of what is now the United States. In doing so, it extends the goals of the school’s On the Brinck Book Awards, which are dedicated to “emphasizing new and overlooked areas of study, challenging existing scholarship, integrating allied disciplines, and appealing to a broad readership,” in the spirit of landscape writer and critic John Brinckerhoff Jackson.

research, writing, publication, public lecture

The prize is open to institutionally-based and independent scholars.
