Fredric M. Jablin Doctoral Dissertation Award: Faculty honors new scholars annually
This award recognizes outstanding new scholarship in the field. It is given in partnership with the International Leadership Association. Annually, the Jepson School of Leadership Studies at the University of Richmond seeks submissions for the Fredric M. Jablin Doctoral Dissertation Award. Submissions can be on any topic and from any discipline as long as they demonstrate substantial insights and implications for the study of leadership.
The 2012 recipient will be honored at the Jepson School of Leadership Studies 20th Anniversary Conference, February 1-2, 2013, in Richmond, Va. The recipient will present his or her doctoral dissertation research at this conference, which will draw luminaries from the field of Leadership Studies. The recipient of the award will also receive a $1000 prize, one-year membership to the ILA, conference registration and travel expenses to the Jepson School of Leadership Studies 20th Anniversary Conference, and complimentary conference registration to the 2013 or 2014 ILA global conference.
Submissions are due in early August. Applicants submit a letter of interest, a three- to five-page abstract of a substantive doctoral dissertation chapter (specifically, the chapter that best represents the author's dissertation), a brief biography and verification of the dissertation defense date (e.g., a letter from the dissertation advisor). The award committee will contact finalists in late August to request a full dissertation chapter.
The Jepson School endeavors to further scholarship and educate students and others for and about leadership through curricula, events and programs. In 1999, the School implemented its annual Doctoral Dissertation Awards, which are named for Dr. Fredric M. Jablin, who died in 2004.
The winner of the 2011 Jablin Doctoral Dissertation Award was Dr. Mark A. Menaldo, for his dissertation “Putting Statesmanship Back Into Statecraft: The Role of Transformative Ambition in International Relations.” Dr. Menaldo's dissertation examines how national leaders transform international relations and domestic political institutions through foreign policy.
