About this opportunity

The LeeAnn Smith White Prize is awarded for the best essay on a topic that falls within the broad area of American cultural and literary studies. Any fruitful topic on American culture may be addressed, but essays touching on LeeAnn's own interests—literature, music, and the visual arts, as well as place, landscape, the environment, and issues of identity—are especially welcome. The essay may be in the genre of an academic argument for a scholarly journal or a familiar essay for a popular venue such as The New Yorker, Harpers, or The Women's Review of Books. This prize is offered through the University of Massachusetts Amherst and is designed to recognize excellence in graduate-level English essay writing focused on American cultural studies.
