I’d love to see the Center also doing research on the ESG activities of pension and retirement systems and strategies.
Additionally, the Conflict, Social Action, and Change Division of SSSP announced its 2013 Graduate Student Paper Competition. Students are encouraged to submit theoretical or empirical papers that address some aspect of the interrelation of conflict, social action, and change. The winner of the competition will receive a $150 cash award, a one-year membership to SSSP, conference registration fees to the 2013 SSSP meeting in New York City and a ticket to the SSSP Awards Banquet.
To be eligible for submission, a paper must not be published or accepted for publication. Also, papers must be authored by a current graduate student (either solely or co-authored by more than one student) and may not be co-authored by a faculty member or other non-student.
