We are pleased to announce the call for nominations for the 2020 Cushing Prize in History and Philosophy of Physics.
Eligible for nomination are works by what we term “younger scholars,” meaning individuals who are within five years of the receipt of the Ph.D, and work in any area of the history and philosophy of physics may be nominated.
Nominations should include a letter explaining the significance of the work that is being nominated, along with a copy of the work, in the case of an individual paper or set of papers, or a complete citation in the case of a book. Please also provide a copy of the nominee’s current cv. The deadline for the receipt of nominations is Sunday, March 15, 2020. Nominations should be sent to: [email protected].
The winner will be announced on April 15, 2020. They will receive a $2,000 prize and an invitation to deliver a prize lecture at the University of Notre Dame in the Fall of 2020.
Questions about the prize or the nomination process should be directed to either Don Howard ([email protected]) or me (Mike Schneider – [email protected]).
