Women's Studies

The Christine de Pizan Award

The Christine de Pizan Award is presented for the best paper, project, or artwork coming under the interdisciplinary umbrella of Women's Studies written or created for an academic course (this includes Directed Studies) in the Spring, Summer, and Fall of the last academic year. The course need not have had a WMST-prefix; it can be from any department on campus. Essays and other brief papers are welcome and strongly encouraged; the maximum length for an entry is 20 pages including notes. Students drawing from a thesis should trim their work to this length. Any creative works (including fiction or poetry) must be accompanied by an artist's statement that specifies how the work is conceptually grounded in women's studies.
