Feminist Practice Award

Feminist Practice Award for Undergraduates

This annual award recognizes Women’s and Gender Studies or Gender & Health undergraduate majors or minors in LGBTQ Studies, Gender, Race and Nation, Gender and Health, or Social Class and Inequality studies whose work in community service or activism best exemplifies application of feminist thought to practice. The winner will have a strong record of leadership that demonstrates a clear connection to ideas from Women’s and Gender Studies courses. We particularly welcome applications from students whose work has focused on empowering those who are marginalized.

Nominations may be forwarded by eligible students or other members of the University community. Self-nominations are especially welcome. Nominees are asked to submit a narrative of 300–500 words describing their relevant service or activism and its connections to their academic work at the University of Michigan, including specifically their coursework in Women’s Studies. The award carries a plaque and $750 and is conferred on a student or group of students at graduation.

The 2024 submission deadline is March, 21, 2024. Submit here.
