Call for Papers
Roberta Sigel Junior Scholar Paper Award
ISPP first announced this award at its Vancouver meeting in 1996. Professor Sigel, whom the award honors, has been a distinguished professor of political science at Rutgers University since 1973. She is author and editor of seven books and many articles and book chapters, mostly in the areas of political socialization and democratic citizenship. She has had many leadership roles in the American Political Science Association and has served as program chair, Vice-President and President of ISPP.
The Sigel award has been dedicated
to support ISPP Junior Scholar travel to the 2005 ISPP Annual meeting
in Toronto. All ISPP Junior Scholars who are current dues paid members
of ISPP and had their paper accepted for the Lund conference are eligible
to be considered for this award. Junior Scholars are all students (graduate
or undergraduate) and faculty who received their Ph.D. within the last
five years.
There are two prizes with slightly different criteria to accommodate the authorship and publication practices in the various disciplines represented in ISPP:
- The first award will be given to the best paper written by Junior Scholars only. Especially in the case of multiple authors, all co-authors must be Junior Scholars.
- The second award will be conferred to the best paper with a Junior Scholar first author. This award allows, but does not require non-Junior Scholar co-authors.
The due date for 2004 Sigel submissions was 15 August 2004. Submissions
are currently under consideration by a 3 person committee, consisting of the
award committee chair Christopher Federico, Junior Scholars Committee Chair
Antonio Brown, and one senior scholar. Two papers will be selected
strictly according to scientific excellence and their contribution to research
in political psychology. The winners will receive an award of $250.00
each, awarded at the following year's conference.
Please check back for information about the submissions process for next
year's award.
Only papers by current (dues paid for 2004) ISPP members are eligible
for consideration.
