Condon Prize for Best Student Essay
in Psychological Anthropology
The Society for Psychological Anthropology each year awards the Richard G. Condon Prize for the best student essay (graduate or undergraduate)in psychological anthropology. The winner is awarded a year's membership in the Society and publication of the paper in Ethos (after
appropriate revision as necessary).
The prize is named for the late Richard G. Condon, whose work included the
study of adolescence, family, and change among the Canadian Inuit.
Psychological anthropology is defined broadly to include interrelationships
among psychological, social and cultural phenomena; it is not confined to
studies of culture and personality. Essays will be judged on their
organization and clarity, as well as upon their theoretical and
methodological strengths. This year's winner will be recognized at the SPA
Business Meeting held at annual meetings of the AAA.
Papers submitted for consideration in next year's competition should follow these guidelines:
- No evidence of the author's identity may be provided in any way through the text or by reference in the paper.
- The author's name and address, student affiliation, and the title of the paper must be provided on a separate cover sheet accompanying the manuscript, which should be identified by the title.
- All authors of papers submitted for this prize must either be in
Doctoral, Master's, or undergraduate degree programs at the time of
submission, or be new graduates who received Doctorates, Master's Degrees,
or Bachelor's Degrees after May 1, 2005. An entry should be accompanied by a
photocopy of each author's student identification card or a photocopy of
each author's most recent diploma. Only one entry is allowed per author.
- Papers must not exceed 35 double-spaced pages and must follow the style of Ethos.
- An electronic version of the paper (in the form of a Word or PDF file via email to amaynard@hawaii.edu) as well as four paper copies of the paper must be submitted and received by September 1, 2010,
accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped manila envelope if return of the
original is desired.

Boyer Prize for Contributions
to Psychoanalytic Anthropology
The Boyer prize is awarded annually to a book or article published in
the preceding three years that addresses the psychodynamic process in a
cultural context. By "psychodynamic process" we mean the implicit and
often unconscious assumptions that shape emotions, relationships,
dreams, and other aspects of subjective experience. By "cultural
context" we mean the social world in which individuals are embedded and
which is the usual focus of anthropological work. The Boyer prize seeks
to encourage and to reward work that takes a psychodynamic approach to a
cultural phenomenon, or an anthropological perspective on the
psychodynamically oriented clinical context, or in some way integrates
the theoretical or clinical insights of psychoanalysis with the
traditional methods or subject matter of anthropology.
There is a preference for the award to be given to those who are members
of the SPA, although this is not a requirement of the award.
Nominations should be emailed to Tanya Luhrmann (luhrmann@stanford.edu)
by July 15 2010.
