The Laurence Wylie Prize in French Cultural Studies

Crated to honor the memory of Laurence Wylie, Professor Emeritus of French Civilization at Harvard University, the Laurence Wylie Prize is awarded every second year to a critical study in French culture or civilization, written in English or in French during the previous two years, by an author living in North America during the period considered. The prize is awarded at the AFCS Colloquium at which the author is invited to present the prize winning work. The award consists of $250 and up to $500 for transportation to the Colloquium.

Nominations are invited with an announced deadline, and must include a full publishing information and a brief statement detailing the pertinence of the work to the study of French culture and civilization.
