The History of Economics Society is accepting nominations for its annual JOSEPH DORFMAN BEST DISSERTATION AWARD for dissertations in the history of economic thought and economic methodology. In memory of Joseph Dorfman, historian of economic thought and Distinguished Fellow of the History of Economics Society, his family endowed a permanent fund for the award. The winner will receive a stipend of $500 plus travel expenses up to $500 to attend the presentation at the Society's annual conference (June 25-28, 2010, at Syracuse University).
All dissertations in the history of economic thought and economic methodology that are written in English and completed during the previous academic year (September 2008 to August 2009) are eligible. The selection committee considers only nominated dissertations. A list of past recipients can be found at http://historyofeconomics.org/awards/dorfman.htm.
