Dear Religion and Politics Section members,
I'd like to invite you to become a member of our award committees for 2014 awards – the Aaron Wildavsky Dissertation Award and the Best Paper Award (descriptions below). These awards not only recognise the lively and important work being done in the field, but actively shape the field itself, and the careers of emerging and established scholars. Please email me to express your interest; the committees will be convened in December and awards will be determined in June and presented at the 2014 meeting. If you can't commit to serving this year, please make a note to nominate your best dissertators and paper presenters later this year.
The Best Paper Award recognizes the best paper dealing with religion and politics presented at the previous years APSA Annual Meeting.
The Aaron Wildavsky Award recognizes the best dissertation on religion and politics successfully defended within the last two years.
Thank you -
