[Commlist] C Edwin Baker award

*C. Edwin Baker Award for the Advancement of Scholarship on Media, 
Markets and Democracy*

*Sponsored by the Communication Law and Policy and Philosophy, Theory 
and Critique Divisions*

*Award Recipients* <https://www.icahdq.org/page/CEdwinBaker>

The Baker Award recognizes work that has made significant contributions 
to the development, reach and influence of such scholarship. While the 
award committee favors research that consists of multiple projects and 
publications that have made a clear, coherent and sustained contribution 
to the advancement of such scholarship over time, single works and/or 
activities that have been highly influential in the field may also 
qualify someone for nomination.

More specifically, nominees for this award will have accomplished one or 
more of the following:

  * opened up new theoretical and/or methodological territory in
    research on any aspect of the interrelations between media, markets
    and democracy;
  * made other important contributions to the advancement of scholarship
    on these inter-relations;
  * engaged in activism that advanced scholarship on these inter-relations.
The award is open to ICA members and to anyone else whose research can 
be shown to have a connection with the work of the ICA and its various 
divisions.

Members of the Award Committee may nominate, but no ICA member who makes 
a nomination or who is nominated for an award can serve on the committee 
judging the nomination. We encourage self-nominations, as well as the 
nomination of others. The award committee encourages nominations that 
reflect the diversity of media and communications scholarship in terms 
of gender, ethnicity, race and sexuality. We welcome nominations from 
any part of the world.

All nominators must:

 1. Submit letter(s) of nomination, not to exceed two pages each.
    Letters must:
  * specify the relevant body of work and/or other contributions made;
  * address the work’s and/or activity’s contributions to scholarship of
    media, markets and democracy (in the case of research, this will
    involve theoretical and methodological assessments of that work); and
  * make a case for its influence and impact on the advancement of such
    scholarship.
 1. Have all materials electronically submitted by September 30, 2020.


The Baker Award was established in 2010 through an endowed fund created 
from the estate of Professor C Edwin Baker (1947-2009), who was the 
Nicholas F. Gallichio Professor of Law and Communication at the 
University of Pennsylvania Law School, and is intended to honor the 
enormous contribution made by Professor Baker to communications 
scholarship. The Divisions gratefully acknowledge the assistance of 
Professor Baker’s sister Dr Nancy Baker.
