CFA- American Institute for Afghanistan Studies Student Paper Competition

Posted by: Michael Carroll <mcarroll@bu.edu>

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The American Institute for Afghanistan Studies (AIAS)
Student Paper Competition

The American Institute of Afghanistan Studies announces its second
student paper competition. Undergraduate and graduate students in all
disciplines are invited to submit scholarly works that focus on Afghan
culture, society, land, languages, health, peoples and history.
Submitted papers will be judged based on the quality of scholarship,
application of extant literature, and overall contribution to
Afghanistan studies. Students may submit their own work directly or
may be nominated by supervising faculty. Submissions must be
accompanied by a separate email from the student's advisor confirming
that the paper was completed as independent work while the author was
a student.

The winner will be awarded a $750 cash prize and the option to have
the paper published on the AIAS web site. Submissions received by
October 1, 2008 will be given full consideration. In the unlikely
event of insufficient academic merit, the committee reserves the right
to award no prize this year.

The AIAS is an academic society committed to advancing the study of
Afghanistan by scholars in the US and to the rebuilding of academic
institutions and scholarly study in Afghanistan. The AIAS has
administrative offices at Boston University and a research center in
Kabul, Afghanistan. For more information on AIAS, please go to our
web site at http://www.bu.edu/aias.
