NASSP Conference Awards for Graduate Students

To promote new scholarship focusing on social
philosophy and to encourage student participation, the
North American Society for Social Philosophy has
established the NASSP Awards for Best Graduate Student
Papers. These awards give special recognition to
papers to be read by a graduate student at the NASSP
annual conference. The winners of the annual prizes
will each receive $300 upon attendance at the annual
International Social Philosophy Conference, and will
be honored at the conference.

This year's annual conference will be held:

July 17-19, 2008
at the University of Portland (Oregon)

Special attention will be devoted to the theme:
Gender, Inequality, and Social Justice

but papers in all areas of social philosophy are
welcome.

Graduate students who wish to be considered for the
award should send completed papers of no more than
3,000 words and a 300-500 word abstract by

March 15, 2008

with an indication that you would like to be
considered for the Graduate Student Award to the
Program Committee:

Accepted papers will then be considered by a three
member committee for the award.  The evaluation
criteria include originality and quality of
philosophical writing. Papers may be drawn from thesis
work or intended for eventual publication, should be
no more than 3,000 words, and conform to the
requirements set out by the APA for colloquium
submissions to annual Divisional meetings.

The prizes are awarded only to conference attendees,
though there is no obligation to use the money for
conference-related costs. Any graduate student
enrolled in a program towards a degree beyond the B.A.
or first university diploma is eligible. The paper
should be consistent with the framework of those
presented at the International Social Philosophy
Conference, addressing any topic in social philosophy.
