Dear colleagues,

This is the second and final call from the Department of Philosophy for
seeking nominations for the Judy Wubnig Essay Prize in Philosophy.  There
are two such prizes -- one graduate and one undergraduate -- each valued at
$500.  Essays from any discipline are eligible, so long as those essays
concern the history of philosophy, broadly construed.  If one or more of
your students submits/submitted an eligible essay to you in the period
spanning Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2011, please nominate her/him/them for the
award by sending me a copy (electronic or paper) of the essay(s) by no
later than Mon., March 11, 2013.  The terms of reference are reproduced
below for your information.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if you
have any questions.

Sincerely,
Shannon Dea
