The Towards Anti-Oppression Subcommittee welcomes submissions for a one-time “essay” prize for work on law and anti-oppression (broadly construed) by students who identify as 2SLGBTQ+, racialized, Indigenous, poor or working class, neurodiverse and/or disabled. We welcome traditional essays, photo essays, recorded oral submissions, and other creative responses to the call. The winners will be selected by members of the Towards Anti-Oppression Subcommittee.
There will be two awards:
- One undergraduate student submission: should be approx. 2000 words (or roughly the equivalent in an alternate format). The winner will receive $500;
- One graduate student submission: should be approx. 5000 words (or roughly the equivalent in an alternate format). The winner will receive $1000.
Applications should include:
- A cover letter that includes i) an explanation of the significance of their work to the topic of law and oppression; and ii) a short equity self-identification statement; and
- Their submission in a shareable format.
Applications – and any questions! – should be submitted by midnight on 28 April 2023 with the subject heading “Essay Prize” to Stacy.Douglas@carleton.ca. Winners will be notified by 15 May 2023.
This award has been made available thanks to the Associate Dean of Equity and Inclusion, Faculty of Public Affairs.
