Description
Brown University’s Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women awards the Joan Wallach Scott Prize annually to recognize an outstanding honors thesis in Gender and Sexuality Studies (GNSS). The prize distinguishes undergraduate thesis scholarship in this field, rather than providing a general research grant for proposed work.
The award is part of the Pembroke Center’s broader support for research and scholarship by Brown faculty and students, which includes fellowships, research grants, and student prizes. Within that range of opportunities, the Joan Wallach Scott Prize is specifically devoted to honors thesis recognition in GNSS.
