About This Opportunity

The Society for the Scientific Study of Religion (SSSR) Student Paper Award recognizes the best papers presented by students at the Annual Meeting. The SSSR awards two Student Paper Awards: one for the best student paper that has been accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, and one for the best student paper that has not yet been published. The award aims to encourage scholarly work and participation by students in SSSR meetings. Student papers are judged by the awards committee on criteria normally used in evaluating scholarly and scientific papers for publication, including an appropriate theoretical framework, competent use of research methods and data, and a persuasive argument to a logical conclusion. Papers may build upon any theoretical or research tradition, with authors demonstrating the cogency and usefulness of the theories and methods used.
