The Pauline Hopkins Society (http://www.paulinehopkinssociety.org) is pleased to announce its fifth bi-annual competition. The society will award the best scholarly publication – book, essay, or book chapter on Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins published between January 1, 2018 and November 1, 2022. If you have published an essay or chapter that discusses Hopkins and/or her work, we invite you to consider entering before the March 31, 2023 deadline.

Because entries will be judged through a system of blind review, we recommend that any self-citation, either in the body or in notes, be reworked to the third person. 

How to Enter:

Essays should be PDF versions of publications with all identifying information blocked out. Please attach a cover sheet with your name, along with your institutional mailing address and e-mail address.

Please send essay as a pdf email attachment by March 31, 2023 to: PHSscholaraward@gmail.com

The award of a $100 cash prize will be presented during a special ceremony commemorating Hopkins and her work in Boston during the American Literature Association annual conference in May 2023.
