Back to Awards and Funding for Pre-doctorial Students
Sponsored by the Association for Anthropology and Gerontology (AAGE)
Award Competition
The 16th annual MARGARET CLARK AWARD with cash prize of $500 for graduate and $250 for undergraduate students is given to the outstanding paper in anthropology and gerontology. An extended summary of the winning manuscript will be published in the AAGE Newsletter. The jurors may select papers for Honorable Mention with a free AAGE year membership.
Purpose
The competition aims to support the continued pursuit of the insights and practice ideals demonstrated by Margaret Clark, a pioneer in the multidisciplinary study of socio-cultural gerontology and medical anthropology, and a scholar committed to mentoring younger colleagues.
Applicants
Contributions are invited from students of all disciplines and methods. Non-members and members are invited to apply. We welcome submissions that are research, analytic, or literary in nature, and academic, applied or practice oriented. The relation to lifespan and aging issues must be discussed. Decisions will be made solely by reference to the caliber of the manuscript. Proof of student status is requested. All submissions must be original and not previously published. The length should approximate that of a journal article.
Submission of Manuscripts
Submissions must include: (a) the application form; (b) a statement of student status signed by an institutional representative, (c) one hard copy of the manuscript and (d) a brief abstract. Text should be typed double-spaced on one side of the paper. Any standard bibliographic format may be used (e.g. American Anthropologist, American Psychological Association).
Deadline
There will be no award competition for 2011 as the Margaret Clark Award is currently going through an administrative transition. It is hoped that the competition will return in 2012.
