Susan Hanson Dissertation Proposal Award, and the Glenda Laws Student Paper
Competition for the year 2011-2012.
Jan Monk Service Award
This award is
named in honor of past-President of the AAG, Jan Monk, and recognizes a
geographer who has made an outstanding service contribution to women in
geography and/or feminist geography. To nominate someone for this award, please
email the name of your nominee and a 1-2 page statement of support including
details of activism and scholarship to the committee listed below by December 
15th,
2011.
Susan Hanson Dissertation Proposal Award
This award honors
Susan Hanson, a past President of the AAG, whose scholarship has been key to
extending understandings of the intersections of gender and geography. It seeks
to highlight a Ph.D. dissertation proposal that promises to make substantial
contributions to the geographic analysis and interpretation of topics related
to gender, sexuality, and feminism. ***Proposals should be double-spaced,
12-point font and not more than 10 pages in length. There should be a title
page with the student’s name and institution.*** So that the judges may read
the proposals anonymously, do not include author’s name anywhere on the inside
pages of the paper.  Email the
dissertation proposal (as a .doc or .pdf file) to the committee listed below by
December 15th, 2011.
Glenda Laws Student Paper Competition
This award is
named in memory of feminist geographer Glenda Laws (1959-1996), who, among many
other things, was a fabulous mentor to her undergraduate and graduate students.
Up to two prizes will be awarded, and both undergraduate and graduate students
are welcome to participate. Papers must derive from and contribute to feminist
research in geography. Papers presented at a regional or national geography
meeting from April 2011 through February 2012 are eligible for consideration.
Papers written for course work during this period will also be considered.
Theses and dissertations are not eligible for this competition. ***Papers
should be double-spaced, 12-point font, and not more than 15 pages in length.
There should be a title page with the student’s name, institution, level of
study (B.A./B.S., M.A./M.S., Ph.D.), and when and where the paper was/will be
presented or the course title, term and year for which the paper was written.***
So that the judges may read the papers anonymously, do not include author’s
name anywhere on the inside pages of the paper. Please email a copy of your
paper (as a .doc or .pdf file) to the committee listed below by December 15th,
2011.
To make proposal
and paper competitions as successful as possible, it should be a community
event. Faculty should encourage their students at all levels to enter the
competition, and graduate students should encourage and mentor undergraduate
students to submit papers.
