================== 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: D. Wade Hands Department of Economics University of Puget Sound Tacoma, WA 98416, USA phone: +1 206 756-3592 fax: +1 206 756-3500 email: [log in to unmask] 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: Sandra Peart Department of Economics Baldwin-Wallace College 275 Eastland Road Berea, OH 44017-2088, USA phone: +1 440 826-2120 fax: +1 440 826-3835 email: [log in to unmask] Distinguished Fellows Award Deadline: November 15, 1998 The Distinguished Fellows Award is given for lifetime accomplishments in the history of thought.
