Dissertation Prize
The Jean Piaget Society is seeking applications for the annual Dissertation Prize. This prize consists of a very generous $2000, plus meeting reasonable travel expenses for the Prize recipient to present an address based upon their dissertation at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Jean Piaget Society in Madrid (June, 2023).
Any doctoral dissertation completed within the preceding 24 months from the submission date originating from any country, from psychology or related fields that concerns the topic of knowledge and its development will be considered. Empirical research in cognitive or social cognitive development of children and adolescents, rigorous demonstrations of constructivist educational methods, evolutionary theory as it relates to development are some examples of the topics that may be submitted. The quality of the work will be paramount: the work need not have originated from the point of view of Piagetian theory, but the winning submission should address how the work furthers the ongoing study of the interdependence of knowledge and development.
Nominations for the prize can be submitted by a mentor or by the prize applicant themselves, but the prize candidate must submit a separate proposal to present their research at the upcoming Jean Piaget Society annual meeting. Evaluation of prize applications proceeds in tandem with evaluation of conference proposals. The finalists and winner must be present at the annual meeting to receive the award. Complete eligibility and submission rules can be found at http://www.piaget.org/awards/
We are aware that travel restrictions to the USA are in place in some countries because of the COVID pandemic. If the winner is from a country that has travel restrictions that prevent attending the conference in person, alternative arrangements will be made for the presentation of the winning dissertation.
Finalists are chosen blind to author, institution, mentor, gender, ethnicity and country. Winners are verified and chosen from finalists. Applicants are not limited to current members of the Society. Questions concerning the process should be directed to Larry Nucci, Chair of the JPS Prize Committee, at nucci@berkeley.edu
Mentors please nominate your mentees, professors highlight your student's work!
