Elsie Clews Parsons Prize

The American Ethnological Society (AES) is pleased to announce the reinstatement of the Elsie Clews Parsons Prize for best graduate student essay presented at the annual spring meeting. The prize, which began in about 1970 and was discontinued in the 1980s, was commemorated by a silver medallion made by a Hopi silversmith.  The design of this medallion utilizes a spider symbol common to Hopi pottery design.  It appears on the AES website as the AES logo.

The prize is given every other year for the best graduate student paper delivered at the spring meeting.
