ACA William M. Jones Award

The editor of The Journal of American Culture invites submissions for the award for the William M. Jones Best Graduate Student Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Culture Association.   Papers must be submitted by February 15, 2008.  Please send three copies of your paper, as well as a disc and photocopy of your student identification card.  Those concerned for their privacy may obscure the Social Security number should it appear on the card.  Papers should address American culture and/or be accepted for an ACA panel.   The winning paper must be presented at the 2008 ACA Meeting in San Francisco, March 19 – 22, 2008, where the award and a $500 stipend will be presented.   Should the winning paper not be presented in person, the award will be forfeited.  We also invite the winning author to submit the essay to The Journal of American Culture and work with the editor toward its publication. 

The Journal of Popular Culture is offering a similar award.  For more information on this, please contact its editor, Dr. Gary Hoppenstand ( hoppens2@msu.edu).  In any event, please do not submit the same essay to both publications. 

Please submit your entry to Amy Dudley, Editorial Assistant, William M. Jones Graduate Student Paper Award Selection Committee, The Journal of American Culture, Virginia Wesleyan College, 1584 Wesleyan Drive, Norfolk, VA 23502.
