NAAPE / Educational Theory Outstanding Paper Prize
Beginning in 2022, NAAPE will be awarding a NAAPE / Educational Theory Outstanding Paper Prize at its conference each year. In awarding this annual prize, NAAPE is partnering with Educational Theory to honor excellent scholarship at the intersection of philosophy and education that is submitted to and presented at the NAAPE conference. The winner of the NAAPE / Educational Theory Outstanding Paper Prize will receive a $500 cash award.
To be eligible for the paper prize, you must submit your paper through the conference submissions site by July 1st. During the submission process, please check the box indicating that you would like your paper to be considered for the NAAPE / Educational Theory Outstanding Paper Prize. NAAPE accepts any length of paper, but we prefer papers that are less than 14,000 words. The papers may employ any well-established style guideline (Chicago, Harvard, APA, or MLA) so long as it is used consistently throughout the paper. Criteria for selection of the prize winning paper include:
The paper is written in clear, engaging and understandable prose.
The paper argues for a thesis on an important contemporary or historical issue in theory and practice.
The paper constitutes a clear contribution to a scholarly discussion, and this contribution is made explicit in the paper.
The paper is structured in a way that convincingly and clearly makes a case for its thesis.
The paper has clear relevance for education.
The paper is not yet published or in-press and will not be under consideration at a journal or other publication outlet until November 1st of the conference year.
As a part of our partnership with Educational Theory, successful prize papers will be published as a featured article in a future edition of the journal, unless the paper is under contract elsewhere.
