Description
The Women’s Caucus Intersectional Prize is an annual award managed by the Women’s Caucus of the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS). It encourages and recognizes excellent intersectional scholarship on gender and race through support for projects in progress. A focus on women, gender-fluid and/or non-binary persons is a required element of the project’s intersectional approach.
The prize also welcomes additional lenses, including indigeneity, empire, sexuality, and class. Projects typically address the period from 1660 to 1820, although work spanning a longer time frame is considered. The emphasis is on research that brings gender and race together in the study of the eighteenth century.
