Student paper award: AAG 2009

The Developing Areas Specialty Group (DASG) is seeking papers for the 2009 Student Paper Competition. An award in the amount of $200 will be provided to a graduate student (M.A. or Ph.D.) who provides a single-authored, original paper dealing with development studies, development geography, or geographic research in a developing country. The paper needs to be presented at the AAG Annual Meeting but does need to be part of a DASG-sponsored session. Paper submissions will be evaluated by three Directors of the specialty group and the winner will be announced in advance of the Annual Meeting. In order to be considered, students need to send an electronic copy of their paper by March 1st to Brian King, DASG Chair at bhk2@psu.edu.
