The Laura Shannon Prize in Contemporary European Studies is a $10,000 book prize sponsored by the Nanovic Institute for European Studies at the University of Notre Dame. The Laura Shannon Prize is awarded annually to the author of the "best book in European studies that transcends a focus on any one country, state, or people to stimulate new ways of thinking about contemporary Europe as a whole." Contemporary is construed broadly, as the winning books demonstrate that even early modern books have done well in the process. The prize alternates between the humanities and history & social sciences. Winning authors accept the prize by offering a lecture at the University of Notre Dame. Nominations are typically due at the end of January every year. Books may be nominated by authors or publishers. Every year the final jury selects one book as the winner. The jury has the discretion whether or not to award honorable mentions. ==Winners== The Nanovic Institute for European Studies has awarded the 2015 Laura Shannon Prize in Contemporary European Studies to Christopher Clark for his book, ''The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914'', published by Harper. A. James McAdams, director of the Nanovic Institute for European Studies, praised the book for “the masterful treatment of one of the greatest turning points in modern history” and “its accessibility to all readers.” *2014 Winner of the Humanities Cycle for books published in 2011 and 2012: ''Modernity and Bourgeois Life: Society, Politics, and Culture in England, France, and Germany since 1750'' by Jerrold Seigel (Cambridge University Press) *2013 Winner of the History and Social Sciences Cycle for books published in 2010 and 2011: ''Shattered Spaces: Encountering Jewish Ruins in Postwar Germany and Poland'' by Michael Meng (Harvard University Press) *2012 Winner of the Humanities Cycle for books published in 2009 and 2010: ''The Hebrew Republic: Jewish Sources and the Transformation of European Political Thought'' by Eric M.
