We are pleased to announce the winner of the 2015 Litwin Books Award for 
Ongoing Dissertation Research in the Philosophy of Information. We are 
granting this year’s award to Quinn Dupont of the Faculty of 
Information at the University of Toronto, based on his dissertation 
project, tentatively titled, “Plaintext, Encryption, and Ciphertext: A 
History of Cryptography and its Influence on Contemporary Society.” 
Dupont's nominating faculty member wrote:

"His intellectual background allows for cross-pollination of rigorous 
theoretical approaches from different fields and is useful as a way to 
add dimension to media archaeology, which has its roots in history and 
the social sciences. This hybridization adds theory to empirical 
research, while forcing information studies into a theoretical 
conversation of its own methods."

The award consists of a certificate suitable for framing and $1000 check.

Since this award is for ongoing research, other applicants who are still 
working on their dissertations will be eligible to enter their work next 
year, and we strongly encourage them to do so.
