The Distinguished Scholarship Award is given by the Pacific Sociological Association (PSA) to sociologists based in the Pacific region of North America, in recognition of major scholarly contributions.[1] To be eligible for the award, a sociologist's contribution must be embodied in a recently published book or through a series of articles with a common theme.[2]
