Feminist Studies Graduate Student Award

Awarded annually, the Feminist Studies Graduate Student Award honors the best article submitted by a graduate student. The winner will receive a prize of $500.00 and a commitment to publish their article. (If more than one person wins, the prize money will be divided between recipients.)

Those submitting manuscripts for the prize should indicate that they are a graduate student in the email with which they submit their manuscript. Beyond this, there is no special procedure involved in being considered for this award. As with all work that comes into the Feminist Studies office, graduate students' work will go through our peer review process.

At the first board meeting of each year, the editorial collective will select the previous year’s winner. (The winner will be recognized in the issue following the editors’ decision.) In order to be considered for the prize, authors must be graduate students when they submit their work. If students graduate before their article is accepted, they will still be considered eligible.
