Dissertation Proposal Award

2008 Winners and Finalists

 

Encouraging and supporting business school faculty is central to the success of many of the Aspen Institute's Center for Business Education initiatives.  In hopes of nurturing relationships with the next generation of faculty concerned with issues of environmental, ethical, and social importance, we introduced the Dissertation Proposal Award to encourage and recognize students showing interest in these issues while in their Ph.D. programs.

 

Winners and finalists were selected from a pool of Ph.D. students from ten countries who submitted relevant proposals to the competition.
