The Theoretical Developments in Social Gerontology Paper Award
In collaboration with American University, GSA is hosting a best paper competition in the area of Theoretical Developments in Social Gerontology. Original papers are solicited which provide an interdisciplinary perspective on social gerontology theory — manuscripts examining the aging individual in a larger societal, economic, temporal, cultural, physical, and environmental context are welcomed. New theoretical frameworks that cross disciplinary boundaries and the single disciplinary theoretical paradigm are encouraged.
The award carries a $2,000 cash prize, in hopes of encouraging this important and promising theoretical work in Social Gerontology. The award will be presented to the author(s) of the winning paper at a special BSS/SRPP symposium at the Society’s Annual Scientific Meeting. In addition to the award-winning paper, a review committee will select the top 3 papers for a special symposium session on Theoretical Developments in Social Gerontology at the Annual Scientific Meeting.
Final Submission Deadline
Last Monday in September.
