ASA Human Rights Section: Graduate Student Paper Award
The Graduate Student Paper Award Committee of the ASA Section on Human Rights is now accepting submissions for the 2013 Graduate Student Paper Award. This award goes to the author of the best paper on human rights written by a graduate student or students, as deemed by the Committee.
The Committee will accept sole-authored and multiple-authored papers as long as the nominee is the lead or senior author. No student-faculty collaborations will be accepted. Eligible student authors include masters' or doctoral students who are currently enrolled or who graduated no earlier than December 1, 2012. The competition is open to both published and unpublished article-length papers (roughly 25 double-spaced pages, without tables or references) written by a graduate student or graduate students in the last two years (2011 or 2012). The nominated paper should be formatted according to American Sociological Review style. Only one award will be given.
The Committee will select the paper that demonstrates the most thoughtful, competent, or innovative analysis of a theoretical or empirical issue that is germane to the Section on Human Rights’ main interests (for a description of the section, see http://www.asanet.org/sections/humanrights.cfm). An award of $300 will be granted to reimburse part of the cost of attending the 2013 ASA Annual Meeting, and will be presented to the winner at the Section on Human Rights Business Meeting.
