DEADLINE: June 10, 2009
The Harold K. Schneider Prize Competition is a student paper
competition established by the Society for Economic Anthropology to
honor its first president and to encourage new scholars in the field
of economic anthropology. Harold Schneider, Professor of Anthropology
at Indiana University, was known for both his path breaking research
and his dedication as a teacher. Each year, the Society for Economic
Anthropology invites both undergraduate and graduate students to
submit papers on any aspect of economic anthropology or economic
archaeology. Papers should contain a central thesis or argument,
should be neither wholly descriptive nor wholly theoretical but,
ideally, both and should be edited for clarity.
Manuscripts should be in English only and be no longer than 10,000
words, including endnotes and in American Anthropologist style. The
winners in both the undergraduate and graduate categories will each
receive a cash prize, a certificate of achievement, a year's
membership in the SEA, and the most recent volume in the SEA series,
"Monographs in Economic Anthropology." They will also be invited to
make presentations at the annual spring meeting of the SEA. The
winners' sponsors will receive an SEA volume. All students who submit
papers will receive a year's membership in the SEA.
Please submit electronic submissions only. The electronic submission
must be sent in Microsoft Word format using the author's last name as
the document name. Please do not include your name in any headers or
footers, but provide all contact addresses (mail and E-mail) on the
title page. If the paper includes multiple .gif or .jpg images, please
include them in the text as well in a separate document labeled
"author name images."
All student submissions must be accompanied by a supporting letter
from a faculty sponsor, which may be submitted via e-mail. Please
indicate whether you are applying in the undergraduate or graduate
category.
The submission deadline for the 2009 competition is June 10, 2009.
