The Harold K. Schneider Prize Competition is a student paper competition established by the Society for Economic Anthropology to honor its first president and to encourage new scholars in the field of economic anthropology. Harold Schneider, Professor of Anthropology at Indiana University, was known for both his path breaking research and his dedication as a teacher. Each year, the Society for Economic Anthropology invites both undergraduate and graduate students to submit papers on any aspect of economic anthropology or economic archaeology. The winners in graduate and undergraduate divisions receive a cash prize and a certificate. The graduate winner is invited to present the paper at the SEA spring conference in 2015.
The SEA thanks the Schneider Paper Prize committee who evaluated all submissions. The committee was led by Ty Matejowsky and included Christian Wells, Brandon Lundy, Maia Green, John Millhauser, & Mette High. We are grateful for your work on behalf of the SEA!
