SPP: Reminder: Stanton Prize Nominations

[Stanton Prize SPP]

Nominations are invited for the 2010 Stanton Prize, awarded annually
to a young scholar who has made significant contributions to
interdisciplinary research in philosophy, psychology and/or related
disciplines, and who has been active in the Society for Philosophy and
Psychology (SPP). Winners are chosen by the executive committee of the
SPP. The Stanton award is endowed in honor of Harry and Betty Stanton
of Bradford Books/MIT Press.

Winners are awarded $500, and deliver an award address at the annual
SPP conference.

Nominations will be accepted until December 1, 2009, and should be
sent by email to stantonprize at gmail.com.


  A complete nomination must include:

(A) From the Nominator

An email from an SPP member in good standing stating that they
nominate the candidate, including full names of the candidate and of
the nominator.

If the nominator prefers to remain anonymous, this may be specified in
the nomination email, in which case the prize coordinator will contact
the candidate to request the items in (B). Anonymous nominators must
provide (A) and (C).

(B) From the Candidate

An email stating (i) that they wish to be considered a candidate for
the prize, (ii) that the nominating statement is accurate, and (iii)

Eligibility: Anyone who has been active in SPP, and who conducts
research in psychology, and/or philosophy, may be nominated. Career
stage will also be considered in the decision, with a preference for
researchers early in their career. Members of the executive committee
of SPP are eligible to be nominated; any executive committee member
who chooses to accept a nomination will not participate in the award
