Austrians Bestow Vogelsang State Prize on Evan Bukey, Professor Emeritus of History
Professor Emeritus of History, Evan Burr Bukey
The Austrian government has awarded the Karl von Vogelsang State Prize for the History of Social Sciences to professor emeritus Evan Burr Bukey.
An international jury of distinguished scholars in intellectual, social and political history bestowed the award for Bukey’s life-long contributions to historical scholarship. The panel of judges emphasized his innovative approach to problems of the recent past and his skill in transmitting his findings to wider public. Bukey joins the illustrious ranks of other Vogelsang winners such as Professor Larry Woolf of NYU, Pieter M. Judson of Swarthmore College, and John Boyer of the University of Chicago.
Professor Bukey will receive the Volgelsang Prize on April 25 in the Federal Ministry of Science and Research in Vienna. Bukey is an award-winning author of three books, most recently Jews and Intermarriage in Nazi Austria (Cambridge University Press, 2011).
