Call for Nominations: IACM 2002 Best Article Award

We are requesting nominations for the Best Article Award. Eligible articles must have been published in the 2000 calendar year and may have an empirical, theoretical, and/or practical focus. Criteria used to judge articles will include empirical contribution to conflict studies, contribution to conflict theory, contribution to the practice of conflict management, and the level of appeal/interest to IACM members.

Please send a hard copy of the article you wish to nominate by April 15 to the Best Article Award Chair:

Call for Nominations: IACM Dissertation of the Year Award

Each year, IACM seeks applications from freshly minted Ph.D.s in our field for the Dissertation of the Year Award. If you have received your degree within calendar year 2000-2001 you are eligible to apply. We encourage eligible folks to apply since, historically, few choose to participate each year and the chances of winning are quite high.

To apply for the Dissertation of the Year Award, submit by e-mail a 10-page (excluding tables and references), double-spaced abstract of your dissertation to the Dissertation Award Chair by April 15 at following address:
William Donohue
Department of Communication
Michigan State University
East Lansing, MI 48824
(donohue@msu.edu)
Applications will be forwarded to two reviewers who will rank order them. If only one person applies, we will hold the dissertation for one year and put it in the next year's pool. In the event of tie rankings on the evaluation, abstracts will be sent to a third reviewer. Applicants are encouraged to give the committee a thorough understanding of the theory, methods, and results of the dissertation study. If you have any questions, please e-mail William Donohue for help.
