The Gender & Women's Studies Department is pleased to announce the

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). *This
year's Writing Prize, which will be presented at the Arts and Sciences
Academic Achievement Awards Ceremony on May 20, 2022, carries with it a
cash award of $100.*
