JG Crawford

Above: Sir John Crawford, Vice-Chancellor, 1967.

The J.G. Crawford Award will be presented in 2011 to the author of an unpublished research paper seen by the Selection Panel as making a substantial and original contribution to scholarship on Japan or on Australia-Japan relations.

To be eligible for consideration the paper should address some aspect of the operation of the Japanese economy or economic policy, or Japan's international relations or relations with Australia, or the political environment affecting these affairs.

The value of the Award is determined each year by a judging panel and in recent years has been $2,500 AUD.

Papers written for publication during the year of the Award but not yet published are eligible for nomination. Other conditions are:

  • Papers must be in English.
  • Applicants must be Australian or Japanese citizens, permanent residents or scholars working in Australia.
  • Persons who have had a PhD, or graduate qualifications in the relevant area, for more than seven years will not normally be eligible for the award.
  • The paper should be 'journal length', that is 4,000-10,000 words.
  • A 100 word synopsis of the paper must also be submitted.
  • Candidates must submit an electronic copy of the paper and the synopsis in either word or PDF format.
  • Submissions are limited to one entry per person.
