An expert team consisting of representatives from the Gender Studies Network, the Global Institute for Women's Leadership, and Feminist Perspectives – an editorial collective of postgraduate students – will judge submissions.
Winning essays will be published as part of Feminist Perspectives and in short form on the Global Institute for Women's Leadership’s blog. Prizes will be awarded as book vouchers:

Essays must have been submitted to a King's College London degree programme. Submissions should be made copying in the course director and include the essay mark. Deadline for submission is Monday 30 May 2022. Submissions should be sent by email to giwl@kcl.ac.uk with ‘Feminist Analysis Essay Prize’ as the subject line.
Gender Studies at King’s is a network that brings together scholars and students across King's – whose research and teaching examines the influence of gender relations. They host a mailing list which publicises relevant events and provides a platform for discussion about gender in research and teaching.
Feminist Perspectives is a blog created to publish research-based work – like academic research and think pieces – and art-based projects that use gender as a category of analysis or explore it as part of a creative process. It aims to bring together students, scholars, artists and activist and to create an outlet to discuss gender from a multidisciplinary and intersectional perspective.
