Austin Kerr Prize. Please review the eligibility criteria below and follow the procedures outlined to have your paper considered by the Kerr Prize Committee. The K. Austin Kerr Prize is awarded for the best first paper delivered at the annual meeting of the Business History Conference by a new scholar (doctoral student or those within three years of receiving their Ph.D.). It honors K. Austin Kerr, professor of history at the Ohio State University since 1965 and president of the Business History Conference during 1992-1993. Author of many books and articles in business history, and a founder of H-Business, Professor Kerr has always encouraged excellence in scholarship and in professional and classroom presentations. Criteria for awarding the prize include scholarly excellence; innovation in subject, method, or findings; and effectiveness of presentation. The Kerr Prize Committee will evaluate the papers in advance and the presentations during the annual meeting, with the Committee meeting prior to the awards banquet to make a decision that will be announced by the Committee chair at the banquet. Presentations at the "dissertation in progress" and Krooss Dissertation Prize sessions are not eligible for the Kerr Prize. Persons presenting in 2008 who have also presented in those session categories at previous BHC annual meetings are eligible for the Kerr Prize as long as they are graduate students or within three years of receiving their Ph.D. Those who wish to be considered for the Kerr Prize must send a CV and an electronic copy of the paper (in either Word or PDF format) via email attachment to the Committee chair, Francesca Carnevali, at F.Carnevali@bham.ac.uk, no later than March 10, 2008.
