================== HES POSTING ====================== 
 
To all individuals interested in the history of economic thought 
 
From:  David Colander 
President of the History of Economics Society 
 
 
The History of Thought Society has the option of giving three awards each 
year: 
 
the Joseph Dorfman Award  for the best dissertation in the history of 
economic thought  
 
the best paper in the history of thought award; 
 
the Distinguished Fellow Award 
 
 
The Dorfman Award carries with it a stipend of $500 and travel expenses of 
up to $500 to attend the HES meetings that year to receive the award.    
 
 Below is information about each of these. We encourage relevant 
submissions. (Previous award winners can be found at the HES web site.) 
 
 
The Dorfman Best Dissertation Award  
Deadline: Extended to November 15, 1998 
 
All dissertations in the history of economic thought and methodology are 
eligible.  The selection committee considers nominated dissertations only.  
 
Official completion date, using the September to August academic year, 
determines the eligible cohort. To nominate a dissertation completed 97-09 
to 98-08, submit one copy to the Chair of the selection committee:

Best Paper Award 
Deadline:  March 1, 1999 
 
The selection committee considers all articles published in the  
Society's Journal of the History of Economic Thought and Perspectives on 
the History of Economic Thought. Those published elsewhere must be  
nominated.  
 
Official publication date is the intended criterion for this annual award 
but the deadline for nominations reflects a compromise. It has been extended 
beyond the calendar year to allow for the fact that many publications are 
shipped after their official publication dates. But the selection must be 
made during the Spring, for presentation at the Society's annual conference 
in June, so articles appearing in very late shipments do miss their 
eligibility.   
 
To nominate an article, send three paper copies to the Chair of the best 
paper selection committee. Nomination of an article by its author is 
welcome.  
 
Submissions go to the Chair of the Best Paper Selection Committee:

The Distinguished Fellows Award is given for lifetime accomplishments in the 
history of thought.

on why you believe the nominee should receive the award to the Chair of the
