The competition for the 2023 TIRF James E. Alatis Prize for Research in Language Policy and Planning in Educational Contexts is now open!

For the 2023 competition, a prize of $500 will be awarded for an article or chapter published in English and dealing with some aspect of language policy and/or planning in educational contexts. We invite nominations of outstanding articles or chapters that were published during calendar years of 2021 or 2022.

New to this year’s competition is a short section of “exclusions” on TIRF’s website that individuals will want to consider when deciding whether to nominate a paper for the Alatis Prize. These additional details will help clarify what types of papers cannot be nominated for consideration of the Prize.

The 2023 Alatis Prize competition marks the seventh year of TIRF offering the program. This year’s deadline for nominations is October 3, 2022. To learn more about this year’s competition, including nomination procedures, important dates, and past recipients, please click here.
