The
Race, Politics, and Ethnicity Section of the American Political Science
Association is accepting nominations for Best Dissertation completed in
the period January 2007 to December 2007. Nominations and accompanying
materials will be accepted until April 25, 2008.
The selection
will be announced at the 2008 Annual Meeting of the American Political
Science Association. Nominations can be made by chairs of dissertation
committees or individuals completing the dissertation. A nomination
must include a precis of the dissertation (no more than 20 pages) and a
brief cover letter explaining how the dissertation expands our
understanding of race, ethnicity, and politics. After a review of the
nomination materials submitted, members of the Best Dissertation
Committee will request 4 hard copies of the complete dissertation of
some nominees.
The Best Dissertation award is based on the following criteria -- the dissertation:
•
makes an important theoretical contribution to our understanding of
historical and/or contemporary processes of racial and ethnic
formation;
• addresses critical substantive issues through which racial and ethnic politics are played out;
• generates discourse for innovative frameworks (and
analyses) for the study of race, ethnicity, and politics;
• is well-written; and
• is analytically rigorous (primary source data, case
material, extant analyses, new or underutilized methodology).
Nominations can be sent via email to Tony Affigne (chair) at: affigne-at-providence.edu
