Student Paper Awards - Submit here for 2013 Student Paper
Awards
Deadline - December 3, 2012
The Association for Death Education and Counseling® invites the
submission of student papers to be considered for one of three
awards:
- The Undergraduate Student Paper Award established in memory of Mary E. Brown, a former Canadian member of the Association and educator.
- The Graduate Paper Award, established in memory of Richard Kalish.
- The Cross Cultural Student Paper Award, an award that encourages graduate and undergraduate students to submit papers dealing with cross-cultural and individual differences in dying and death.
In order to submit a paper for consideration, the submitter must be
currently enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student, depending on
award. Each award consists of $100 and a certificate of recognition,
which will be awarded at the 2013 Annual Conference in Hollywood,
California, USA. Winners will be reimbursed for their travel expenses up
to $200, and their conference registration fee will be waived. Winners
are also invited to submit abstracts of their papers to the ADEC
Forum and to present winning papers as poster presentations during
the conference.
Student papers that reflect diversity of culture as well as philosophical, clinical and educational approaches to dying, death and bereavement are especially welcome.
A multidisciplinary committee will judge papers through a blind review process. Reviews will be based on the following criteria: the topic is related to death, dying, or bereavement; topic importance; clarity of writing; originality of content; depth and breadth of content; documentation of resources; writing style; and adherence to format.
