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:
