[ANU Pacific.Institute] The Inaugural Pacific History Association Teresia Teaiwa Prize

[Christopher Ballard]

The Pacific History Association (PHA) has established the PHA Teresia Teaiwa Prize (NZ$1000) to honour the profound legacy of Teresia Teaiwa, former President and Secretary of PHA. This will be awarded at the Pacific History Association biennial conference.
The inaugural winner will be announced at the PHA biennial conference at the University of the South Pacific, Suva, Fiji, 1–4 December 2020. This will be the 40th anniversary of PHA and will mark a homecoming for Teresia.
The prize will be for a conference presentation. Contestants will be shortlisted on the basis of an essay submitted prior to the conference.
We invite students and emerging scholars planning to present at the PHA conference to
submit a draft paper on a topic relating to the history of Pacific peoples and their islands, and which promotes the innovation, originality and critical creativity that characterized Teresia’s work. The paper should also broadly be in keeping with the theme of the 2020 conference: In Their Own Words.
Shortlisted candidates must personally present their paper at the conference to be considered for the prize. Co-authored and joint presentations are welcome provided that both authors meet the eligibility criteria.
Eligibility: Students enrolled in a postgraduate course of study in 2020, as well as emerging scholars not appointed to a full-time academic position within 2 years (in 2020) of the completion of an MA, PhD or other degree course or diploma.
Submission guidelines: The draft paper should be submitted via email to Dr Adrian Muckle, PHA Secretary (adrian.muckle at vuw.ac.nz). Due date: 1 August 2020 (23.59pm NZ time). Late submissions will not be accepted. Intending entrants should ensure that they also submit a paper proposal by the deadline set in the general CFP (to be announced in February 2020).
Word limit: 3500 words, including full citations.
Papers should be double spaced, 12 pt. font with minimal formatting.
Submit two copies of the paper: one “blinded” and one with full author identification, including the author’s university affiliation and supervisors’ names.
