HGSG Student Paper Award Competition -- Call for Papers
The Historical Geography Specialty Group (HGSG) of the AAG will
sponsor two student award competitions in 2008-2009:
The Ralph Brown Award for papers written by Master's-level students; and
The Andrew Hill Clark Award for papers written at the PhD-level.
Eligibility for the awards is open to any graduate student who has or
will present a paper at any professional conference beginning the day
after the 2008 AAG Annual Meeting and ending the last day of the 2009
Annual Meeting. Students wishing to participate should send copies of
a conference-length paper of no more than 11 double-spaced pages plus
notes, figures, etc. to each person listed below. Papers should be
sent by e-mail in doc or rtf format. All questions should be directed
to the Paper Awards Committee Chair.
Each award carries with it a $100 first prize. Second prizes of
lesser amounts may be awarded at the discretion of the competition
judges. Please note: If the paper you wish to enter for the Ralph
Brown award is based upon research conducted while you were a Master's
student, you are eligible to enter this competition even if you are
now a Ph.D. student. In evaluating the papers, preference will be
given to those based on primary sources of information rather than
literature reviews. Regardless of which competition you enter, please
indicate in your e-mail to which one you are applying. The deadline
for receiving materials is March 1, 2009.
The committee members are: Dr. Matthew Farish (chair), University of
Toronto, [log in to unmask]; Dr. Jamie Winders, Syracuse
University, [log in to unmask]; Dr. Lawrence Berg, University of
British Columbia, [log in to unmask]
