The E. F. Byrne Peace and Global Justice Award is awarded to one or more faculty from the School of Liberal Arts faculty (see exceptions below) who submit a paper that best describes and/or advises what needs to be done to diminish conflictual situations in the world and enhance arrangements conducive to peace. This paper topic is understood very expansively, and the work of every department and program within SLA potentially touches on peace and global justice in one way or another. Reflecting the broad nature of the topic, submissions are encouraged (but not required) to focus on one or more of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations Member States in 2015 to provide “a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.” 

For Spring 2024, up to two awards between $2,500 to $5,000 each will be awarded.

The number, amount(s), and recipient(s) of this Award will be selected by the School Research Advisory Committee (with at least one committee member from the Department of Philosophy). If the paper is disseminated, acknowledgement of the award is expected.

Criteria:

Papers for this competition should be a minimum of 2,500 words and a maximum of 6,000 words in length. The methodology and content of the submission can reflect those of any discipline. The two key criteria are that the paper addresses the topic of Peace & Global Justice and that it be of a quality that is suitable for submission for review for publication. However, a successful submission cannot yet be published or accepted for publication.

Eligibility:

The award is primarily intended for full-time faculty members of the IU School of Liberal Arts in Indianapolis. Students and part-time faculty in the School or an IU Indianapolis faculty member outside of the School may compete for this award if endorsed by a letter of support from a full-time faculty member from the IU School of Liberal Arts. A previous awardee is not eligible to apply again for three years.

Application:

Submit electronically a paper meeting the criteria described above to Thom Upton, by noon of Tuesday, March 19, 2024. Submissions from those who are not full-time faculty in the School must also include a letter of support from a full-time faculty.
