In recognition of the commitment of our late colleague,
Gill-Chin Lim, to
the study of humanistic aspects of globalization, the ACSP Global Planners
Educators Interest Group (GPEIG) has established an award in his name. The
Gill-Chin Lim Award for the Best Dissertation on International Planning
recognizes superior scholarship in a doctoral dissertation completed by a
student enrolled in an ACSP-member school.
The Dissertation
Committee chairperson jointly with the department chair or director of
graduate studies will make the nominations. It is expected that submissions
will be selected through a participatory faculty and student process. The
nominees must have received their degree in the two years preceding the
deadline.
The award committee will
evaluate the submissions based on: a) innovative scholarship and perspective
that advance the understanding of the diverse processes of international
planning in the global context, with a special focus on low-income countries
of the “Global South;” b) relation to global cooperation, global social
responsibility, global ethics, and respect for global diversity pursued by
GPEIG; c) creativity in exploring/proposing international planning
alternatives; and d) organization, structure, style, clarity, and
originality.
The application
must include four copies of:
1)
A cover letter with full contact information, including telephone
number and e-mail address.
2)
Table of contents, abstract, and the introductory and concluding
chapters, as well as the full dissertation on disc.
