Indigenous Peoples Specialty Group Student Paper Competition The Indigenous Peoples Specialty Group (IPSG) invites submissions for its annual Graduate Student Paper Competition. Graduate student papers eligible for this competition will address geographic research, education, cartography, theory and/or applications by, for and/or about Indigenous people(s). Papers will be evaluated on their overall contribution to new knowledge and understanding in the geographies of Indigenous peoples. The award for the top student paper includes a cash award of $150 and a one-year honorary student membership in the IPSG. To be eligible for this competition, papers must be presented at the 2007 San Francisco AAG annual meeting, regional geography meetings or another professional conference. Students must submit a written manuscript of their conference paper for evaluation. Papers will be evaluated by IPSG board members, which include both faculty members and graduate students. The committee reserves the right not to award a prize if submissions are not of sufficient quality. Interested students should submit a copy of their conference paper electronically by April 15, 2007 or in person no later than April 17, 2007 to either of the IPSG co-chairs: Laura Smith at smithl@macalester.edu or Jay Johnson at jjohnson18@unl.edu. Any questions about the competition should also be directed to the co-chairs. |
