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

award of $100.
