The award is designed to encourage high quality research and writing among students who have an interest in Global South studies. To be eligible for submission, a paper must not be published nor accepted for publication. Papers must be student- authored; they may be authored by a single student or co-authored by more than one student but may not be co-authored by a faculty member or other non-students. Papers must not exceed 10,000 words (including all notes and references) and should include a brief abstract. To be eligible for the award, the author(s) must make a commitment to present the paper at a session during the AGSS annual conference. To be considered, submit (a) a copy of the manuscript, (b) a cover letter specifying that the paper is to be considered in the Harold Isaacs Student Paper Competition, and (c) a short letter from the advisor(s) of the author(s) certifying their status as a student and including some brief comments about the research. All materials must be submitted electronically to the chair of the Harold Isaacs Award committee [who serves as the chair of the Executive Council\u2019s Teaching Committee] by 1 August prior to the annual conference. The winner will receive a $400 cash award and a plaque of recognition. It is expected that the award winner will serve on the Harold Isaacs Student Paper Award Committee for the year following receipt of the award.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Isaacs Award Committee<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"RichTextView__text___mbcOP RichTextView__editable___IjfQ8 color_classes__color-foreground-1-primary___gUzFc Text__xxLarge___gGM1S\" data-placeholder=\"Please fill in description\">Chair \u2013 Cathy Skidmore-Hess (<a href=\"mailto:cskid@georgiasouthern.edu\">cskid@georgiasouthern.edu<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Previous Winners of the Harold Isaacs Award<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2001 \u2013 Naveed S.
