Nominations for the Gender Studies Program's undergraduate and graduate student paper competitions are due to Dr. Kimberly Kelly (kkelly@genderstudies.msstate.edu) by April 15. (Students may also self-nominate for these competitions.) The authors of the two winning papers will each receive $250.
Papers will be judged on clarity of writing, the centrality of gender and gendered themes within the paper, and the sophistication and analytical merit of the themes and arguments made by the author. Judges will also take into account the disciplinary background of the author/paper - some aspects of what makes for a great paper in English may be different from what makes for a great paper in psychology, etc. All entries must come from currently enrolled students. Papers must be solo-authored and 30 pages or less. Theses and dissertations are not appropriate entries for this competition.
