IACM Awards

IACM annually recognizes meritorious contributions to the study of social conflict that epitomize the goals and purposes of the association.

These awards recognize conference papers, journal and book publications, dissertations, and contributions to the organization. Two career awards are given in alternate years. The Rubin award recognizes important contributions to the nexus between theory/research and practice. The Lifetime Achievement Award (LAA) recognizes important contributions over the span of a career, particularly to those colleagues who have spanned disciplinary boundaries in their scholarship.

Award committees, appointed by the President and comprised of at least three Association members, administer these awards. The Chair of each committee announces the recipients of the awards at the Annual Conference of the Association. Committees for the Rubin and LAA awards consist of the President, past-President, and President Elect.
