Description
The Paul Monette-Roger Horwitz Dissertation Prize recognizes outstanding doctoral scholarship in LGBTQ studies, broadly defined. Offered by CLAGS: The Center for LGBTQ Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center, it honors a dissertation by a PhD candidate within the City University of New York system rather than supporting a proposed research project.
The prize commemorates Paul Monette, a poet and author, and his partner Roger Horwitz, an attorney. It is part of CLAGS’s fellowships and awards supporting advocates and researchers in LGBTQ studies. Founded in 1986 and located in midtown Manhattan, CLAGS administers the prize through its fellowships committee.
