The Peter Lang Emerging Scholars Competition (previously known as the Young Scholars Competition) is an annual competition for early career researchers in selected fields. It has been held every year since 2011, in fields such as Black Studies, Irish Studies, Women’s Writing, Education, French Studies, and more.
In each competition, book proposals for monographs are invited from emerging scholars to be evaluated by a distinguished editorial board. Winners receive a contract for a fully funded book.
Indigenous Knowledge Explained will be published in Peter Lang’s Plants and Animals: Interdisciplinary Approaches book series.
The RCC would like to warmly congratulate Yolanda on this wonderful achievement and awaits the publication of her monograph with great enthusiasm.
