Teresa Peck Award 2008
This cash award will be given for the best gender-related paper or creative work written by a University of Wisconsin-Parkside student during the 2008 calendar year. The Center for Women’s and Gender Studies also hosts a reception to announce the awards and to honor the students and their work.
The paper/creative work must reflect a creative or theoretical approach or analysis of some aspect of gender, from a feminist perspective. It must be well defended as such by the student in the process of the work. Students should probably revise their papers with the advice of the recommending faculty member. Both male and female students are eligible to submit work.
Criteria include accuracy and appropriate research methodology, creativity of approach, and critical or theoretical insight. Sources should be documented by using MLA style or whatever documentation system is appropriate for the academic discipline (check with the instructor if in doubt), and the paper should be free of grammatical, technical, and structural errors.
Papers should be at least 7-10 pages long and no longer than 20 pages including reference list/ bibliography. Do not "pad" the bibliography with citations for sources that are not clearly and actively used in the paper. As with any academic assignment, students are responsible to the UW System policy related to Academic Misconduct. For helpful guidelines concerning plagiarism, you may wish to consult: http://www.uwp.edu/departments/english/misconduct.cfm
You should submit the paper, along with a cover letter explaining the nature of your work and including your current address, phone number, and email address, to:
