The prize will include: (1) the opportunity to read the paper during the WJS session at the meeting of the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy in March 2025, (2) $750 to subsidize travel to that meeting, and (3) publishing the paper in William James Studies.

Submissions should be prepared in accordance with the guidelines of William James Studies manuscript submission information (https://williamjamesstudies.org/submission-information/). Please note that past recipients of the WJS Young Scholar Prize are not eligible to submit. All submissions must constitute new work not under consideration elsewhere. All papers must be submitted to WJS Secretary Kevin Decker(kdecker@ewu.edu) by August 15th, 2024. After the submissions have been considered by the prize committee, the winner will be announced in late September.
