Dear Colleague,

May I draw your attention to the prizes below for dissertations in 
the history of economic thought or comparable courses in economic 
philosophy or the development of economic doctrine. I would be 
grateful therefore if you could forward this on to the relevant 
lecturer within your department and that he or she inform any 
students intending to submit or who may have just submitted a 
dissertation last year. The three prize winners will be announced at 
the 22st HETSA Conference in July to be held at the University of 
Notre Dame in Fremantle, Western Australia. Winners, of course, will 
be announced beforehand and will be invited if possible to the 
Conference dinner where the prizes will be awarded. I thank you for 
your cooperation in this vital matter or rewarding scholarship in economics.

Yours Sincerely
Alex Millmow
Chief executive officer of HETSA



PRIZES FOR RESEARCH INTO THE HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT

The History of Economic Thought Society of Australia is calling for 
applications for the award of the 2009 HETSA Prizes

There are three categories of prizes

*Best PhD dissertation;

*Best masters thesis, where the degree was completed entirely by research; and

*Best masters/graduate diploma/honours thesis, where the degree was 
completely partly by thesis

A prize of $300 will be awarded to the winner in each category, 
provided that the best entry is deemed to be of sufficiently high 
standard to merit an award.


Closing date for entries is April 1, 2009

The prizes will be awarded to the candidates who, in the opinion of 
the judges, submitted the best thesis, or dissertation, in the field 
of history of economic thought at an Australian or New Zealand 
tertiary institution in the relevant category. Any submission for a 
prize should be made within two years of the candidate receipt of the 
nominated degree. Candidates must submit their examiners reports as 
evidence of their eligibility for the prize.

All submission must contain two copies of the thesis, examiners 
reports and a covering letter with full contact details of the 
applicant. Entries will be judged by a prize committee appointed by 
the Chief Executive Officer of the History of Economic Thought 
Society of Australia.
Entries, consisting of two copies of the thesis, should be sent to
