Guidelines for Submitting Papers - Valeria Burgess Stevens Prize and Jeanne McFarland Prize
- Papers are due by Wednesday, May 7, 2008 to the Program office in Seelye 207b. An electronic submission to jmercier@email.smith.edu is preferred.
- Each student may submit no more than one paper (total) to the Program for consideration in any given year.
- Manuscripts on any aspect of the study of women and gender may be of any length and may have been previously submitted for courses.
