Dear colleagues,
Please note the changes we have decided to make regarding the WSC Award. As you will see, the letter from the dissertation’s advisor is no longer required.
If you could post the new announcement on the AAIS conference page, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Cosetta and Juliann
The AAIS Women’s Studies Caucus (WSC) is pleased to announce a new award. It is open to ABD doctoral students who will present their Women’s Studies doctoral research in any of the WSC sponsored panels at the annual
AAIS conference in Sorrento, Italy, June 14-17, 2018. (

Please send your complete paper (15 pages maximum) to the WSC secretary Juliann Vitullo (
