To encourage and recognize excellence in accounting education research, the Teaching, Learning and Curriculum (TLC) Section seeks nominations for the 2009 Research in Accounting Education Award. Research articles (besides cases, instructional resources, and teaching and educational notes) in English in the field of accounting education published in 2008 are eligible for the award. Note: cases, instructional resources, and teaching/educational notes are not eligible for the award. At least one of the authors of the manuscript must be a member in good standing in the TLC Section in 2008-2009.
The Research in Accounting Education Award Committee, appointed by the Chair of the TLC Section, will evaluate all submitted nominations. The award is for the outstanding article, not necessarily the best paper in a given year. Thus, the committee can choose not to give an award in a given year. The award carries a plaque, letter of commendation, and monetary stipend ($500) that will be presented at the TLC Section's business meeting in August 2009. This year's committee consists of: David E. Stout, Chair (Youngstown State University), Mahendra Gujarathi (Bentley College), Mary Fischer (University of Texas at Tyler), Mark Kohlbeck (Florida Atlantic University), Tom Tyson (St. John Fisher College), Dahli Gray (Strayer College) and Jack R. Fay (Pittsburg State University).
Self-nominations are acceptable and typical. Nominations consisting of (a) copy of the paper, (b) cover letter, and (c) statement of membership in the TLC section should be submitted electronically to destout@ysu.edu or by mail to the address below. The deadline for receiving nominations is April 15, 2009.
