The International Society of Political Psychology is pleased to announce the
establishment of a Best Dissertation Award, to be given for the first time at
the 2008 Annual Meeting in Paris!
Deadline: January 15, 2008
All Ph.D. dissertations within the field of political psychology
are eligible for consideration, regardless of home discipline.
Dissertations should represent an independent piece of research that is
the sole work of the author and gains the highest degree at the author’s
university.
Nominations are due by January 15, 2008, for dissertations completed and
successfully defended between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007.
Eligible dissertations must be nominated by the thesis advisor, or a
thesis committee member. Nominees
must be current ISPP members.
Nominations should be submitted electronically and must include a one-page
abstract (300 word), a 10-page (3000 word) summary of the dissertation, and a
letter of recommendation from the thesis advisor or committee member, all in
English. Nominations should be
submitted to the award committee co-chairs: Felicia Pratto (felicia.pratto@uconn.edu)
and Christopher Federico (federico@umn.edu).
The award committee will request a copy of the full dissertation for those
selected to participate in the second round evaluation. If the dissertation is
written in a language other than English, the full dissertation may be submitted
in the original language for the second round evaluation, and at least one
qualified reader fluent in that language will be included as a committee member
for the second round evaluation. Full dissertations requested for second round evaluation should be submitted
electronically, formatted for 8.5 x 11 inch paper, single-spaced, 12 point font.
As this is a new award, we also ask your assistance in forwarding this
announcement to Directors of Graduate Studies at your institution, and other
appropriate parties.
