Each year the mesa board of directors selects the winner who receives a cash award of $1,000. The kerr dissertation award honors the significant contribution of malcolm h. Kerr to middle east studies. Two awards were established in 1982 to recognize exceptional achievement in research and writing for/of dissertations in middle east studies. A $1,000 cash award is given yearly to the winner in each category of social sciences and humanities. The hourani book award honors albert hourani for his long and distinguished career as teacher and mentor. The award was established in 1991 to recognize outstanding publishing in middle east studies.
