Bursaries, funded by membership fees. Enrolled honours and postgraduate
students wishing to apply for an Ian Langham Bursary should submit an
abstract as above and indicate that they intend applying for a bursary
on the form when submitting their abstract. Bursary applicants will need
to provide a full written version of their paper (approx. 3000
words-3500 max.) along with evidence of student status by 31 May 2010 to
the Secretary, Charles Wolfe (charles.wolfe@sydney.edu.au). Criteria for
selection of eligible papers include whether they engage scholarly
dialogues in the HPS/STS literature, whether they evidence knowledge and
appropriate use of HPS/STS methodologies, and that the author is a
student enrolled in either an honours or postgraduate program. You must
also be able to provide, on request, the written support of your
supervisor. Bursaries will be allocated subject to these conditions and
the availability of funds (monies are generally distributed according to
distance between the home institution and the conference venue).The best
student paper will be awarded the Ian Langham Prize at the conference
although the AAHPSSS Executive reserves the right not to award the
Prize.
