Call for applications - Brockriede Grant Argumentation
The Brockriede Grant is awarded competitively and funded by the American Forensic Association upon the recommendation of the AFA Research Committee and approval of the AFA National Council.
Named for Wayne Brockriede (PhD University of Illinois), an outstanding representative of the field who combined a love of research with excellence in teaching and a passion for forensics. Brockriede was known as “a friend to ideas regardless of their theoretical or methodological origins” and he supported both social scientific and humanistic approaches to the study of argument. Author of five books and thirty articles, the common theme of Brockriede’s work was the argument, “not as a weapon but as a way of advancing the best in people.”
The Brockriede Grant of up to $1,000.00 honors the legacy of Wayne Brockriede, supporting research in argumentation, advocacy, and debate. The Brockriede Grand is awarded every other year.
Applicants should review requirements and eligibility guidelines (http://www.americanforensics.org/awards/BrockriedeAward.html) and contact the Chair of the Research Committee of the AFA (james.dimock@mnsu.edu) if they have questions about the process. Grant applications must be received electronically by October 1, 2017 in order to receive full consideration.
