The Eos Promising Scholar Awards

The Editors and Volunteers of Coreopsis Journal of Myth and Theatre are proud to announce the winners of the Ēōs Promising Scholar Award for 2017-18.

Painting of Greek goddess Ēōs Erigeneia by Evelyn De Morgan (1895)

Ēōs Erigeneia – Evelyn De Morgan (1895)

Named for the ancient goddess of the dawn, Ēōs Erigeneia, who brings up the light of day from the east. Often the companion of Athena, Eos brings light both metaphorically and in reality each new morning.

Presented to scholars at the “dawn” of their careers and who have not published previously in a peer reviewed journal.  Scholars are selected by the staff and peer review team for papers submitted to Coreopsis Journal which exemplify excellence in research and writing. 

The two Eos scholars for this year were tied for the award. Each scholar is also an artist in her own right and is active in her community making this world a better place. The papers tackled difficult subjects that are well deserving of attention by researchers. 

To support this award, please go here and place “Eos Scholars support” in the “special instructions” box: https://societyforritualarts.com/donate/
Recipient are awarded:

  • Space on the SRA pages to share their ideas and to update research.
  • Guests of Honor at the Awards Presentations.
  • Membership in the SRA with all rights and privileges.

Congratulations and well done!
