Established by alumna Emily Fitton, this award is granted to the sociology/anthropology student who completes the most outstanding research paper in a sociology/anthropology course. Guidelines:
• The paper should deal with a sociological/anthropological issue.
• The paper must be from a SOAN department course.
• Paper must be from a spring or fall SOAN course in the calendar year prior to the award (i.e., SP18 or FA18 for the 2019 award).
• Honors theses are not eligible for this award.
• Minimum of eight typed, double-spaced pages.
• Paper can either be based on field research or library research.
• One paper per applicant per year. This paper can only be submitted once during the four years at Ohio Wesleyan, although the individual can submit different papers in other years.
• The paper must be submitted to the Sociology/Anthropology Office anonymously by the end of February in the year of the award. This year’s deadline is Feb. 28. Paper is to be submitted to the SOAN secretary Pam Laucher (pllauche@owu.edu) in Elliott Hall, Room 211 (not to a faculty member – the faculty judge these papers without knowing the identity of the authors).
