Forum for the History of Science in Asia - essay competition announcement
The Forum for the History of Science in Asia is proud to
announce a competition for a best essay prize, to be awarded at the annual HSS
meeting. Through a generous donation of an anonymous donor, the Forum will
award $250 to an author of an essay that has the best potential to show how the
study of the history of Asian science can methodologically contribute to the
general field of History of Science, Technology and Medicine.
In order to be considered for the prize, please submit an
essay (a recently published or still
unpublished article, or a book/dissertation chapter) on the topic of history of
science, technology, or medicine in Asia (including South, South-East and East
Asia) to fhsasia@gmail.com by October
15, 2013.
The essay should be in English, and should not exceed 40
double-spaced pages (not including images). In a separate document please
submit a 250-words abstract, or, in case of a book/dissertation chapter, please
submit a short overview of the whole project.
