The CEH 2021 Prize Competition is now open. The deadline for submissions is Friday 10 September 2021.
The editorial team of Contemporary European History is delighted to announce the 2020 CEH Prize winner, Mónica García-Fernández (University of the Basque Country, Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea), for her forthcoming article ‘From National Catholicism to Romantic Love. The Politics of Love and Divorce in Franco’s Spain’. García-Fernández’s article examines the changing discourses around divorce and love in Franco’s Spain, showing how changing attitudes towards social structures such as family and marriage also reflected new understandings of emotions. Her article was not only very well executed, but was also highly original in its study of the emotions and emotional resonance of the dictatorship, showing a bold and innovative approach to European history. We would like to congratulate Mónica García-Fernández on winning this prize, not least considering the very high quality of the submissions we received. Her article is expected to be released in our first issue of 2022.
The editorial team would also like to give Bastiaan Bouwmann (Freie Universität, Berlin) the Honourable Mention in the 2020 CEH Prize competition for his submission, ‘Between Dialogue and Denunciation: The World Council of Churches, Religious Freedom, and Human Rights during the Cold War’. Bouwmann offered a very well-written, rigorous and sophisticated discussion of religious freedom and human rights in the post-war decades, and we are delighted to be publishing it in CEH over the coming months.
We would like to take a moment to thank all those who submitted articles for the prize. It was an honour to read the work of so many enthusiastic and innovative young scholars, and also deeply inspiring to see so much intellectual energy in the field of European history at a time of global crisis. We look forward to working with many of you in the future.
