Friends and Colleagues --
Nominations are invited for
The James T. Cushing Prize in the History and Philosophy of Physics
The family, students, friend, and colleagues of Jim Cushing are pleased to
announce the inauguration of the James T. Cushing Prize in the History and
Philosophy of Physics, and we are hereby inviting your nominations.
This annual prize is intended to recognize and reward the work of younger
scholars. The winner will receive $1,000 and an invitation to deliver a
paper in Notre Dame's History and Philosophy of Science Colloquium series
during the 2003-2004 academic year. Eligible are all papers in the history
and philosophy of physics published by a younger scholar within the past
three years (that is, for this year's competition, since September 1999).
Work is eligible only by nomination. While we offer no explicit definition
of the term "younger scholar," our intention is to favor work produced by
scholars who are no more than about five years away from the completion of
the Ph.D. or, in a comparable way, new to the fields of the history and
philosophy of physics, this in recognition of Jim's well-known role as a
nurturer of younger talent in the profession.
A nomination should consist of a brief description of the significance of
the nominated work and such information about the author as the nominator
might think helpful to the evaluation committee, such as an abbreviated
cv. The deadline for receipt of nominations will be December 1.
Nominated work will be evaluated by a committee of three people drawn from
the members of the Advisory Committee (see below). The winner will be
announced in April 2003.
Nominations will be accepted by mail, fax, email, or through the web page:
