Call for Nominations (The 2024 Polly Corrigan Book Prize)
The Polly Corrigan Book Prize is a biennial award sponsored by The King’s Centre for Study of Intelligence (KCSI) and Intelligence and National Security (INS, Taylor & Francis). It was established to honour the life and work of the late Dr Polly Corrigan, former journalist and teaching assistant at King’s College London, whose research focused on the Great Terror in the 1930s Soviet Union. The Prize aims to recognise scholarship published within the realm of intelligence and security written by female scholars and/or about women. It encourages scholars to go beyond traditional lines of inquiry and explore how women contributed to and participated in the making of the ‘Secret World’. The Polly Corrigan Book Prize committee is composed of representatives from KCSI, INS, the WIN-Women in Intelligence Network, and Polly’s mum, Jane Feinmann, former Times journalist. The Committee will accept self-nominations as well as nominations by others. It will consider books and edited volumes written/edited (or co-written/co-edited) by women as well as publications written on women in intelligence. Entries must be published in the English language (or available in an English language edition). The 2024 Polly Corrigan Book Prize will consider books/edited volumes published in 2022 and 2023.
The nominations for the 2024 Polly Corrigan Book Prize are closed. The panel will announce the winner by 01 October 2024.
