The David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies (DRCLAS)
proudly announces its most recent thesis prize competition:
Kenneth Maxwell Thesis Prize in Brazilian Studies
The Kenneth Maxwell Thesis Prize in Brazilian Studies -- which will
be awarded for the first time this Spring, as the golden key to DRCLAS's
"Brazil Semester at Harvard" -- was established to recognize
the best Harvard College senior thesis on a subject related to
Brazil. Candidates may be nominated by their
department/concentration/instructional committee, or candidates may
nominate their own theses. This annual prize is funded by a
gift to DRCLAS from Professor Kenneth Maxwell. The winner is
determined in late May and announced at the DRCLAS Certificate Ceremony
held on June 8. This prize carries a monetary award of
$500.
Deadline for submissions: FRIDAY, MAY 6, 2005
This prize will join the prestigious James R. and Isabel D.
Hammond Thesis Prize for the best thesis related to Spanish-speaking
Latin America (established in 1992) and the Inter-Faculty Committee on
Latino Studies Thesis Prize for the best thesis on a subject
concerning Latinos (established in 2003). For more information on
these prizes, please see:

I am delighted to report that (to my knowledge) there are at least 4
seniors this year who have written Brazil-related theses. If you
are aware of any Harvard College seniors who have written theses on
Brazil, please forward this notice to them.
To submit a thesis for consideration, please contact:
