~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jean Martin Maxwell Prize A philosophy can live and develop only through the continuing effort of philosophers to bring their ideas to the attention of others, so that a creative dialogue can take place. Jean Martin Maxwell (1968) The Jean Martin Maxwell prize is awarded annually through the Institute for American Thought in conjunction with the Philosophy Department for the best masters thesis containing a genuine contribution to American philosophy. The prize is named in remembrance of Jean Maxwell (1924–2005), who completed her own thesis on William James and phenomenology at Northern Illinois University in 1968. The prize is made possible through the generous contributions of family and friends. Eligibility: All
students participating in the Philosophy MA at IUPUI, as well as all
students in other MA programs at IUPUI who are taking the Graduate
Certificate in American Philosophy and have at least one member of
the philosophy department at IUPUI on their thesis committee. The
thesis must have been accepted by the office of the IU Graduate
School at IUPUI during the year preceding the submission. The jury
retains the right not to award the prize in a specific year if it
feels that it received no submissions that warrant the prize. For
