The Journal of the History of Philosophy is pleased to announce the Jan Wojcik Memorial Prize. Made possible by the generosity of Jan’s children and their families, this annual $2500 award is intended to further the research of a graduate student enrolled and resident in a North American Ph.D. program and working on a dissertation in the history of philosophy (all periods). The prize will be given to fund either

(a) Travel to foreign archives or libraries to pursue dissertation-related research

or

(b) Travel to present a paper accepted at a foreign conference or seminar.

An application should include a one-page description of the applicant’s dissertation topic and two letters of support. Moreover, if the travel is for research purposes, the application should also include a description (not to exceed two pages) indicating what research the applicant will be carrying out abroad and how travel will further that work. If the travel is to present at a conference or seminar, the application should include a copy of the paper to be presented and a copy of the notice indicating that the paper has been accepted.

Electronic applications only. All materials should be sent to Steven Nadler (smnadler@wisc.edu).
