AWARD: ISHPES Junior Scholar

The ISHPES junior scholar award will be presented at the 2010 ISHPES Seminar
to be held in conjunction with the Wingate Congress of Exercise and Sport
Sciences on 3-6 June, 2010 in Israel.

It is awarded for an unpublished essay of outstanding quality in the field
of sport history. Eligible scholars must be a member of ISHPES and a
registered student (undergraduate or graduate) at the time of the Seminar or
a young scholar (within one year of receiving a PhD). The essay must be
submitted in one of the official ISHPES languages (German, English or
French) and the text itself (including notes and bibliography) must not
exceed 10,000 words. The main criteria for selection will be based on
originality, the scientific quality of the research and the value of the
study from the perspective of international sport history. The theme of the
Seminar is Sport and the State: A Controversial Relationship, though the
paper need not be directly related to the theme.

The award winner will receive free registration at the Seminar and a year’s
subscription to ISHPES. His/her paper will be published in Stadion and the
winner, together with any other entrant whose work is recognized by the
committee for its quality, will receive a diploma that will be presented at
an award ceremony during the Congress.

The essays must be submitted to the Chair of the Awards Committee, Patricia
