[SIGCIS-Members] Call for Submissions: 2026 Joel A. Tarr Envirotech Article Prize

[Ruamcharoen, Boyd]

Dear all,

The Envirotech Special Interest Group is inviting submissions for the 2026 Joel A. Tarr Envirotech Article Prize. Please feel free to circulate the call among your networks!

In association with the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT), Envirotech has established the Joel A. Tarr Envirotech Prize to recognize the best article, published in either a journal or edited volume, on the relationship between technology and the environment in history. The prize is named in honor of the eminent U.S. historian of urban environments and technologies Joel A. Tarr.

Awarded roughly every eighteen months (alternating between SHOT and ASEH conferences), the prize recognizes innovative publications that explore new ways of thinking about the interplay between technological systems and the natural environment. Early-career scholars and graduate students are especially encouraged to submit their publications. Articles may be submitted in any language; however, for articles not written in English, the applicant will need to provide a translation.

To be eligible for this prize, the article must have been published in a journal or an edited volume between January 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026. Submissions can be final page proofs in lieu of the published PDF, if needed.

The winner of the 2026 Joel A. Tarr Envirotech Prize will be announced around the SHOT 2026 conference (held virtually).

To apply, please attach your article and a brief curriculum vitae (a one-page PDF file) to this form by July 1, 2026: https://forms.gle/vpx4bRSoiEKW71RL7
