2011 Graduate Student Paper Awards

GRADUATE STUDENT AWARDS IN ECOCRITICISM AND ENVIRONMENTAL CREATIVE WRITING

 
The Association for the Study of Literature and Environment (ASLE) will once again honor the best work of graduate students by presenting two awards for presentations made at its 2011 conference:

*  the best scholarly paper in ecocriticism by a graduate student presented at the conference

*  the best work of environmental creative writing (any genre) by a graduate student presented at the conference

Those submitting papers must be members of the Association for the Study of Literature and Environment, or an international affiliate, as of May 1, 2011, and should have been enrolled as a graduate student within the previous seven months.

Both awards include a prize of $100, publication in ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment, and inclusion in the conference banquet program.

NOTE: The paper that is submitted for either of these awards must be essentially the same paper that is presented at the conference. Longer works abbreviated for "paper jam" sessions are eligible, but the complete work must be submitted for consideration. Submissions longer than 12 double-spaced pages (works cited excluded) will not be accepted.

Papers must be submitted as an email attachment in a standard format (.doc, .docx, or .pdf) no later than May 1, 2011.
