Bernard Lewis Memorial Prize

The Bernard Lewis Memorial Prize was instituted to achieve two goals. First, to sustain the memory of Professor Lewis and ensure his legacy as an example for other scholars to follow. Second, it recognizes a member of ASMEA who has demonstrated superior scholarship and dedication to objective truth in the field of Middle East studies.

ASMEA was pleased to award the inaugural Bernard Lewis Memorial Prize to Prof. Banu Eligur of Baskent University.
