This new paper prize is designed for grad students but also post-docs writing on Burma Studies topics, and it is offered in years when the Sarah Bekker Prize (earmarked for graduate students) is not given.

The call for submissions for the inaugural Okell paper prize will be around the March 2022 Association of Asian Studies conference. Please start preparing your submission now! See the Announcements and Calendar page to keep up on the opportunities and events such as this that are coming up.
