Society

The Society has established an annual award of $500 for the best paper on Medieval or Renaissance philosophy by a younger scholar. Graduate students, recent PhDs (within 3 years) and scholars without full-time academic appointment should submit papers to the chair of the Program Committee by March 1 to be considered for award at the SMRP annual business meeting in December of that year. Submissions should consist of the actual text delivered or to be delivered at a conference or meeting in either the year of the award or the calendar year preceding it.

Program Chair:

The Catholic University of America
School of Philosophy

The first award winner is Susan Brower-Toland, St Louis University, for her paper"Ockham on Judgment, Concepts, and Intentionality."

The Publications Committee of the
Society has both a publishing arrangement with The Catholic University of America Press and funding available to subsidize the publication of significant scholarly works in medieval or Renaissance philosophy. The Committee especially seeks mature and distinctly philosophical treatments of texts, figures, periods, or problems.

Although we wish to encourage young scholars, we will not consider unrevised doctoral dissertations. Since we are looking for philosophical monographs, we will not at the present time consider text editions or translations of Latin texts.
