The SPA’s annual awards were announced at the 2014 SPA Business Meeting. All of the prize committees noted the highly competitive nature of this year’s submissions. The Stirling Prize for Best Book Published in Psychological Anthropology went to Geoffrey Saxe’s Cultural Development of Mathematical Ideas: Papua New Guinea Studies (2012, Cambridge University Press). The Condon Prize for Best Student Essay in Psychological Anthropology was awarded to Nofit Itzhak for her essay “Making Selves and Meeting Others in Neo-Shamanic Healing.” Look for it in an upcoming issue of Ethos! And finally Tine Gammeltoft was given the Boyer Prize for Contributions to Psychoanalytic Anthropology for her Ethos article Toward an Anthropology of the Imaginary: Specters of Disability in Vietnam (2014).
Congratulations to Geoffrey, Nofit, and Tine!
