This award was created in to honor the memory of our much-missed colleague, sociologist David Sonenschein, and his enduring dedication to supporting and mentoring independent scholars, especially in the early stages of their careers. The Sonenschein Award therefore focuses on education and upskilling (continuing professional development) for researchers and covers courses, workshops, seminars, and certificate programs, including online offerings, given by a credentialed university or other recognized research association.
