THE BERTRAND RUSSELL SOCIETY Student Essay Competition
The Bertrand Russell Society awards two prizes annually for the best new papers by an undergraduate or graduate student. Prize-winners present their papers at the Society’s annual meeting, receive $200, free registration, lodging and banquet at the annual meeting, and a complimentary first-year membership in the Russell Society.
Papers can be on any aspect of Russell’s life, work, or influence. They must be suitable for presentation to a general audience, and should be designed for a presentation of 20 minutes (8 to 10 double-spaced pages of text). To submit a paper, send a complete or nearly complete copy, not an abstract, to BRS president Tim Madigan (tmadigan@rochester.rr.com). State that you would, if chosen, attend the BRS annual meeting. Those who have previously appeared on an annual meeting program are not eligible. The next annual meeting of the BRS will be June 2019 (exact date has yet to be determined) at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA.
