The AES is pleased to announce the reinstatement of the Elsie Clews Parsons Prize for best graduate student essay presented at the annual spring meeting. The prize, which began in about 1970 and was discontinued in the 1980s, was commemorated by a silver medallion made by a Hopi silversmith. The original design of this medallion utilizes a spider symbol common to Hopi pottery design. 
The prize is given every other year for the best graduate student paper delivered at the spring meeting. The Elsie Clews Parsons Prize was most recently awarded in Spring 2005. Graduate students interested in applying for the Elsie Clews Parsons Prize should mail three copies of the complete paper to David Nugent, Department of Anthropology, Emory University, 1557 Dickey Drive, Atlanta, GA, 30322. The deadline for submissions is February 15, 2009. Papers should be no longer than 35 double-spaced pages, previously unpublished, and should conform to American Ethnologist style guidelines. |
