ACTR Lawrence Prize invitation

[Glen Nichols]

Robert G. Lawrence Prize
Invitation and Criteria

The Robert Lawrence Prize was established in 1995 by the Association to honour the memory and contribution of a valued member and friend. The prize recognizes the research of an emerging scholar who has presented an outstanding paper at the Association's yearly conference. The award of $150.00 is supported by the generous donations of Mrs Robert G. Lawrence.

The award is open to graduate students and emerging scholars who recently completed their PhD (less than five years) and who make a presentation at the annual ACTR conference. Because of the increasing number of potential candidates, the Association has decided to update the adjudication procedure.

If you are an emerging scholar making a presentation at this year's conference and would like to be considered for the award, please give three extra copies of your paper to the Association president during the conference. These copies will be used by the adjudication committee. Please make sure the president knows you are interested in being considered for the award as soon as possible. That way we can make sure at least one member of the adjudication committee will be present at your panel.

The criteria for the award include the depth and detail of the paper as well as the quality of its presentation.
