Professor Dorin's first book, No Return: Jews, Christian Usurers, and the Spread of Mass Expulsion in Medieval Europe, has won the following prizes: 

Salo Baron Book Prize | American Academy for Jewish Research

The Baron Prize honors the memory of the distinguished historian Salo W. Baron, a long-time president of the AAJR, who taught at Columbia University for many decades.  It is one of the signal honors that can be bestowed on a young scholar in Jewish Studies and a sign of the excellence, vitality, and creativity of the field.

Wallace K. Ferguson Prize | Canadian Historical Association

The Wallace K. Ferguson Prize recognises the outstanding scholarly book in a field of history other than Canadian history. 

Margaret Wade Labarge Prize | Canadian Society of Medievalists 

The prize for the best book published by a Canadian medievalist is named for the Society’s first President Dr Margaret Wade Labarge. It was instantly dubbed “The Polly,” reflecting the nickname by which this warm and beloved medievalist was known from coast to coast.
