Nominations Open for 2025 Sage-CASBS Award
Sage and the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford University are now accepting nominations for the 2025 Sage-CASBS Award. (Sage is the parent of Social Science Space.)
Established in 2013, the Sage-CASBS Award recognizes outstanding achievement in the behavioral and social sciences that advances our understanding of pressing social issues. It underscores the role of the social and behavioral sciences in enriching and enhancing public discourse and good governance.
“Social and behavioral scientists deserve recognition for the knowledge they generate, discussions they advance, policies they influence, and lives they impact,” Sage CEO Blaise Simqu and CASBS director Sarah Soule wrote in a joint statement. “Through celebrating them and their work, which often crosses disciplinary boundaries, our organizations together reaffirm deep, long-held commitments – Sage for nearly 60 years and CASBS for 70 years – to enhancing public welfare and promoting successful societies.”
Past winners of the award include:
- Psychologist Daniel Kahneman, 2002 Nobel laureate in economic sciences and author of the acclaimed book Thinking, Fast and Slow
- Pedro Noguera, the sociologist and education rights activist, as well as Distinguished Professor of Education and Emery Stoops and Joyce King Stoops Dean at the Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California
