MGR Honorable Mention: Phillip Atkinson

这一特殊奖项将给予研究生菲利普·阿特克森在社会学领域进行研究生学习和研究的额外灵活性。该奖将用于促进收集有关国家经济的档案数据，特别是与出口有关的数据，作为对一个国家在世界经济体系内相对地位的社会、政治和经济决定因素进行更广泛研究的一部分。这个奖项产生于一个特殊的董事会级别的项目，旨在加强以前获得荣誉奖的少数族裔奖学金项目申请人的研究生教育。该奖项将加强少数民族参与社会学研究的力度。

This special award will give graduate student Phillip Atkison additional flexibility in pursuing his graduate studies and research initiation in sociology. The award will be used to facilitate the collection of archival data on national economies, particularly related to their exports, as part of a larger study of the social, political and economic determinants of a nation's relative position within the world economic system. This award grows out of a special directorate level program to enhance the graduate education of previous applicants of minority fellowship programs receiving honorable mention ratings. This award should strengthen minority research participation in sociology.
