Thesis Prize and Past Award-Winning Theses

The best theses are eligible for two prizes, the EAS Department’s Marjorie Chadwick Buchanan Prize and the EAS Program’s Leigh Buchanan Bienen and Henry S. Bienen Prize. These are adjudicated by committees, appointed by the EAS Program Director and EAS Department Chair respectively, who read the theses as well as the relevant adviser’s and reader’s reports to make their final evaluations. Only theses that cite a number of East Asian language sources will be considered for the annual EAS Department Thesis Prize. Such theses will also be considered for the annual EAS Program Thesis Prize. No student can win both prizes.
