Best Paper Prize
In this third year of the Center’s annual best paper prize, we are looking for papers that are well-written and researched, grapple with global issues or questions, and represent a sophisticated grasp of the material. We are looking especially for work that bridges theory and practice in the humanities and social sciences to deepen policy-oriented expertise and encourage global public engagement. The winner will receive $500 and will be featured on the Center’s website. Please consider nominating an undergraduate who – over the course of the 2025-2026 academic year – wrote an exceptional essay.
The deadline for nominations has passed. Please check back in Spring 2026 for future deadlines. Please send nominations and original papers directly to Diana Atoui at [email protected].
