| Every
two years the Journal of Policy History and the Institute
of Policy History sponsors a Policy History Conference. The intention
of the conference is to provide a forum for presentations and round
table discussions on policy history topics and recent policy history
research.
The 2006 Policy History
Conference was held June 1-4 in Charlottesville, VA, co-hosted by
the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.
Over 275 participants were on the program, including distinguished
historians, political scientists, social scientists, lawyers, education
scholars, and policy experts. The Journal of Policy History
and the Miller Center was pleased to present former CBS journalist
and current NPR commentator Daniel Schorr for a special presentation
and a question & answer session.
At each Policy History
Conference, the Journal of Policy History presents the
Ellis Hawley Prize, awarded to a junior scholar contributing the
most outstanding article published in the Journal during the past
two years. The Hugh Davis Graham Travel Grant is also awarded at
each conference to a graduate student or junior scholar in order
to assist in travel expences to conduct archival research.
