The Gender & Women's Studies Department at the State University of New York
College at Plattsburgh is pleased to announce the inaugural bell hooks
Writing Prize in Gender & Women's Studies, a prize awarded for an
outstanding paper on a topic relating to how gender intersects with other
social locations such as race, ethnicity, nation, class, sexuality, age,
(dis)ability, religion, and culture. Entries should be major essays or
research papers (at least 1000 words in length). The 2022 Writing Prize,
which will be presented at the Arts and Science Academic Achievement Awards
Ceremony on May 20th, carries with it a cash award of $100.
