Managed by the Women’s Caucus.
The Women’s Caucus Intersectional Prize is an annual award of $500 made by the ASECS Women’s Caucus to encourage and recognize excellent intersectional scholarship on gender, race, and any additional intersectional dimensions with a focus on women in the eighteenth-century.
The award is open to all members of ASECS for projects-in-progress. Winning projects must advance an intersectional analysis of gender and race in the eighteenth century. A required element of this intersectional approach includes a focus on women, gender fluid and/or non-binary persons. Additional intersectional lenses such as indigeneity, empire, sexuality, or class are encouraged and welcomed. Projects typically fall within the period of 1660-1820, though projects spanning a longer time period will also be considered.
The award winner will be notified soon after the committee has made its decision and will be announced at the ASECS annual meeting and the Women’s Caucus luncheon.
Applications must include:
1) an abbreviated curriculum vitae that lists achievements relevant to the project,
2) a three to five page proposal outlining the project, a two page bibliography of pertinent works, and
3) a budget explaining the candidate’s plans for using the funds.
The winner will be asked to submit a brief written report on the progress of the project one year after receiving the award, and whenever possible, will serve on the Award committee in the following year. Award winners will be requested to acknowledge this grant’s support in the publication that results from the project.
To apply for the Award, see Women’s Caucus Awards.
