The Workers’ Museum and the Society for Labor History (SFAH) award the Labor History Prize of DKK 30,000 every year.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of the prize is to inspire and promote the study of the history and culture of workers and the labor movement among students at universities and other institutions of higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is awarded to the student who has written the best master’s thesis, master’s thesis or PhD thesis on a theme within Danish or international labor history. Assignments with an emphasis on communication may also be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submissions must have been submitted within the last two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prize is awarded by an independent assessment committee set up by the Workers’ Museum and SFAH, consisting of Kristina Krake, PhD, Associate Professor at the University of Amsterdam; Thomas Wegener Friis, PhD, Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark; and Jesper J\u00f8rgensen, PhD, Archivist at the Workers’ Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After further assessment of the entries received, the committee may decide to divide the amount between two or more award recipients, or not to award the prize at all, and it may choose to nominate more people before the award ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The award recipient is obliged to write a contribution to SFAH’s journal Arbejderhistorie<\/em> and give a lecture based on the award-winning dissertation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Labor History Prize is usually awarded in connection with the Labor History Festival at the Labor Museum in Copenhagen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To participate in this year’s competition, the thesis must be submitted by the author or another person to <\/strong> jjo@arbejdermuseet.dk before June 1 of the same year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
