2010 Salvatore J. Natoli Dissertation Award

To encourage research in geography teaching and learning, NCGE has created the Salvatore J. Natoli Dissertation Award in Geographic Education.
 
Awards will be given during the National Conference on Geography Education, in Savannah, Georgia September 29-October 3, 2010. One prize of $500 will be awarded.
 
Applications for the award must be made through a 15-page paper based on the entrant's doctoral dissertation. The deadline for submissions is June 30, 2010.
 
All applicants are expected to present their research at the National Conference. Entrants for this year must have completed their degrees in 2008, 2009 or early 2010.
 
The award is not restricted to Ph.D. dissertations in geography. Applications must include:
  • a 15-page, double-spaced paper drawn from the dissertation, plus a 200-word abstract;
  • a cover letter that states the title of the dissertation, date of the degree, major professor's name and institution;
  • a letter from major professor testifying to relationship between the paper and the dissertation and confirming the state of the degree.
Materials must be emailed to the NCGE Central Office at ncge@ncge.org.  Please make "Natoli Dissertation Application" the subject heading of that email.  Awardees will be scheduled to present during the National Conference on Geographic Education.
