Please see below for the awards announcements for the mathematical sociology section.
Graduate Student Paper Award
The Mathematical Sociology section is accepting submissions for the Outstanding Graduate Student Paper Award. Eligible papers must have been written while the author was still a graduate student and during the past three years. Papers can be published or unpublished. A dissertation chapter, but not the entire dissertation, is eligible, as is a paper based on the dissertation. The Award includes $500 to help defray the costs of attending the ASA meetings or other expenses. The author/first author must be a graduate student at the time of submission, and all authors must be graduate students when the paper was written. Please submit papers to Amir Goldberg (ami...@stanford.edu), the chair of the committee, by February 1st, 2017.
Outstanding Article Publication Award
The Mathematical Sociology section is accepting submissions for the Outstanding Article Publication Award. Eligible papers must have been published during the past three years. Please submit papers and a nomination letter to David Schaefer (david.s...@asu.edu), the chair of the committee, by February 1st, 2017.
James S. Coleman Distinguished Career Award & Harrison White Outstanding Book Award
The section on Mathematical Sociology is pleased to accept nominations for the Coleman Distinguished Career Award and the Harrison White Outstanding Book Award. The Coleman Distinguished Career Award recognizes a lifetime of contributions to the field of Mathematical Sociology. A letter of nomination should outline the candidate's activities of lasting significance in mathematical sociology, conducted over the course of her or his career. The nomination also should include a copy of the candidate's curriculum vitae, and an assurance that the candidate has given permission to be nominated for the award. The Harrison White Outstanding Book Award recognizes a single book-length contribution to the field of Mathematical Sociology. Eligible books must have been published within the past four years. A letter of nomination should outline the significance and contribution of the text to the field. Nominations for both awards must come from American Sociological Association members, and should indicate the award for which the individual or work is being nominated; one award will be made by the committee, based on the quality of submissions received. Please send materials to Carter Butts (but...@uci.edu), the chair of the committee, by February 1, 2017.
Outstanding Dissertation-in-Progress Award
The Outstanding Dissertation-in-Progress award provides a grant of $1,500 to meet some of the scholarly expenses of a student whose dissertation employs mathematics in an interesting, imaginative or ingenious way to advance sociological knowledge. The applicant should submit a copy of his or her approved dissertation proposal, with a list of any requirements added by the graduate committee. The packet should also include a letter of support from the student’s sponsor, which describes the student’s qualifications for the completed task and the potential importance of the project. You must be a member of the Mathematical Sociology section to apply for this grant, and agree to remain a member through the period to be covered by the grant. Please send a copy of the dissertation proposal and a nomination letter to James Kitts (jki...@soc.umass.edu), the chair of the committee, by February 1, 2017.
