Student Paper Competition
Sponsored by the Disability Specialty Group Student of the Association of
American Geographers (AAG)
Undergraduate and graduate students
are invited to submit papers relevant to issues in geography and
disability for the Disability Specialty Group Student Paper Award
2003. In an effort to encourage student participation, the
eligibility criteria for the competition are as follows:
-Papers that have been presented at
any conference in 2002 (including the annual meeting
in
Los Angeles), and/or any papers
presented in 2003 (up to and including the annual meeting in
New Orleans) are eligible.
-Papers with a geographic focus presented at
non-geography conferences are also welcome.
- Students do not have to be a current member of
the Disability Specialty Group or necessarily
have to attend planning to attend
the AAG conference, March 2003 in New Orleans.
The goals of the award are to recognize outstanding papers that students
have presented at conferences and encourage student participation.
The successful student will receive a prize and a year's membership to
the Disability Specialty Group.
Process:
The paper should be 15 to 20 pages in length, including all notes and
figures. A cover letter should accompany all entries and contain
the student’s and all other authors’ names, academic affiliation, faculty
advisor for the paper, mailing address, e-mail address and phone
number. We prefer that students send the paper as an attachment
using e-mail. If this is not feasible, students should submit 3 hard
copies.
The above materials must be e-mailed or postmarked by February 29,
2003 to
