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 d.atoui@northeastern.edu.
