[Sarah Levin-Richardson]

*Did you see an amazing graduate student paper at the APA/AIA addressing queer issues?  Please consider nominating!*

This year we are proud to announce a new award for graduate students:  The LCC Graduate Student Paper Award.

This award is designed to encourage and reward scholarship by pre-Ph.D. scholars on issues related to the LCC’s mission, including, but not limited to: homosocial and homoerotic relationships and environments, ancient sexuality and gender roles, representations of the gendered body, and queer theory.  

We ask for nominations of oral papers presented by a pre-Ph.D. scholar at a conference (including, but not limited to the APA/AIA and CAMWS) from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009 (ca. 20 minutes in length as delivered).  To nominate, e-mail Kristina Milnor (kmilnor at barnard.edu) and Bryan Burns (bburns at wellesley.edu) with the presenter’s name and email address and the title of the paper.  Self-nominations are encouraged; information related to nominations is confidential.  Membership in the Caucus is not required to be eligible for these awards. Nominations accepted until September 1, 2009.  The winner will be announced at the 2010 WCC-LCC opening night reception at the APA/AIA.
