FEMINIST STUDIES announces that it plans to offer its graduate student
prize, the Feminist Studies Award, on a yearly basis.
The Feminist Studies
Award will honor the best essay submitted throughout the year to the journal
by a graduate student. With this prize, we aim both to encourage and learn
from a new generation of feminist scholars.
Feminist Studies invites graduate students researching any aspect of
feminist scholarship to submit papers that would be of interest to our
interdisciplinary audience. All papers written by graduate students during
the previous year will be judged by the editorial board who will announce
the winner(s) in January. The winner will have her/his essay published
in Feminist Studies and will be awarded a prize of $500.00.
The submission guidelines are the following: the paper should be a maximum
of 35 double-spaced pages (including footnotes); please send three copies
and an abstract. In the cover letter, the applicant must indicate clearly
that she/he wants to be considered for the Feminist Studies Award and must
identify her or his graduate affiliation by school, department, and expected
date of completion.
