Deadline April 30, 2009
The Bertrand Russell Society invites papers for our BRS annual Student Essay Prize competition. We award two prizes annually for the best new papers by an undergraduate, graduate student or non-member non-academic. Prize-winners will present their papers at the Society's next Annual Meeting, receive $200, free registration, lodging and banquet at the Annual Meeting,
and a complimentary first-year membership in The Bertrand Russell Society.
Papers can be on any aspect of Russell's life, work, or influence. They
must be suitable for presentation to a general audience, and should be designed for a presentation of 20 to 30 minutes (10 to 12 double-spaced pages of text).
Submit a complete or nearly complete paper, not an abstract. State that
you would, if chosen, attend the BRS Annual Meeting.
Those who have previously appeared on an Annual Meeting program are not
eligible. Submit your paper by April 30, 2009 to Prof.
Alan Schwerin, BRS President, Dept. of Philosophy, Monmouth University,
West Long Branch, NJ 07764.
