This award, named in honor of Mary
Wollstonecraft (1759-1797), the English philosopher who wrote the
classic text A Vindication of the Rights of Women (1792), is given
annually by the Augustana Women's and Gender Studies Program. It is
designed to recognize excellence in women's and gender scholarship
at the undergraduate level.
Awards are typically presented in
three categories: Entries will be accepted in Spring 2007 for student papers written in Winter 2006/2007, Fall 2006, and even as far back as Spring 2006....so think back, check your files, see what you've got. Entry deadline in typically around April 1. We seek entries that display excellent liberal arts scholarship and creativity at the undergraduate level. Entries should have a thesis or underlying insight that is skillfully supported and rhetorically effective. Since feminist scholars have influenced all academic fields, any course offered in the college could, potentially, be the basis for written work addressing historical, theoretical, social, psychological, artistic, and economic questions relevant to the Wollstonecraft award. Winners will receive a small monetary award and a certificate of recognition. Entries will be judged anonymously by professors from other colleges. For more information, contact Laura Greene, engreene@augustana.edu , English Department, Old Main 131.
