Kerr Prize Information
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. Presentations at the "dissertation in progress" and Krooss Dissertation Prize sessions are not eligible for the Kerr Prize. Persons presenting in 2010 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.
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 ceremony to make a decision that will be announced by the Committee chair at the ceremony.
Those who have applied for the Kerr Prize are reminded that they must send a CV and an electronic copy of the paper (in either Word or PDF format) via email attachment to the committee chair, Mark Rose, at mrose@fau.edu no later than 12 March 2010. Please address questions to the Committee chair as well.
