| The
MES Student Paper Prize
The MES proudly
sponsors
an
annual paper prize for students
in anthropology and related
disciplines. Established
in 2002, the MES Student
Paper Prize includes a
cash award of $500, ideally
to help defray the costs
of travel to the annual AAA
conference, and recognition
at the Middle East Section
meeting at the conference. Papers from current
undergraduate or graduate
students on any aspect of
Middle East anthropology will be evaluated according
to originality, significance,
use of data, and quality
of writing. Papers must
be no longer than 7500 words
and may not have been published
at the time of submission.
The call for
papers is typically issued
in the spring, and the deadline
for submission typically
falls in the early summer.
Please contact the
MES President or
check the
news announcements for
more details.
