Richard G. Condon Prize for Best Student Essay in Psychological Anthropology

The Society for Psychological Anthropology solicits entries for the Richard G. Condon Prize for the best student essay in psychological anthropology. The prize is named for the late Richard G. Condon, whose work included the study of adolescence, family, and change among the Canadian Inuit. Psychological anthropology is defined broadly to include interrelationships among psychological, social and cultural phenomena. Essays are judged on their relevance to psychological anthropology, organization and clarity, and their theoretical and methodological strengths. The author must have been an undergraduate or graduate student during the award year academic period. The winner receives a cash prize of $500, a one-year membership in the Society for Psychological Anthropology, and publication of the winning essay in Ethos after working with the Editor for final preparation of the manuscript. The winner is recognized at the SPA Business Meeting at the Annual Meeting of the American Anthropological Association.
