Call for Nominations: 2010 Boulding Award

The Peace Studies Section of ISA sends this reminder that nominations for the 2010 Boulding Award are due this week. The award was established to honor Kenneth E. Boulding, a founder of the field of Peace Studies. The Award Committee seeks a graduate student research paper, delivered at the most recent ISA meetings, that is (a) theoretically based, (b) empirical (qualitative and/or quantitative), and (c) relevant to a significant problem in the field of peace studies. Any excellent exploration in the area of Peace Research is eligible. Direct submissions from graduate students and nominations from panel chairs and discussants are welcome. The award recipient will receive a two-year membership in ISA, a travel grant from the Peace Studies Section toward expenses to attend the ISA Annual Convention, and a certificate to be awarded at the 2011 convention. To nominate, please submit an electronic copy of the paper presented at the recent New Orleans convention to Gavan Duffy, gduffy@syr.edu. Please include the full contact information and institutional affiliations of the nominator and, if different, the nominee. Deadline for submissions: May 1, 2010.
