Symonds Prize
Studies in Gender and Sexuality Extends Deadline for Submissions
Extended Deadline: September 1, 2008

The Editors of Studies in Gender and Sexuality, through the generosity of the Alexandra and Martin Symonds Foundation, announce the third annual competition for the best essay on a topic related to issues of gender, sexuality, or both.

The essay may engage clinical or theoretical questions. The writer may be new or seasoned. The topic may be cutting-edge or devoted to any of the time-honored problems in psychoanalysis, including:


Gender in the work place, everyday life, and politics
Sex, gender, and clinical considerations
Gender and sex in contemporary cinema or theater, literature or art
Sex and food
Gay marriage and civil union
Race, sex, gender in the clinical encounter and in cultural representation
The materiality of sex: from sex toys to who does what with whom
Seduction and consent
Gender and sexuality in disability or illness
Gender and prisons
A cultural studies approach to pornography
A cultural studies approach to recent television ("The Real World," "The L Word," "Deadwood," …)
Torture, war crimes, and gender (Abu Ghraib, Rwanda…)
Gender, sexuality and the history of psychoanalysis
Abortion politics and rights


In the spirit of the journal's mandate, we are interested in essays that vary in form and content. Submission could include papers that are multidisciplinary. We are open to orthodoxy and heterodoxy. Even to their combinations.

The contest will be judged by members of the journal's Editorial Board. The winner will receive $500, and the essay will be published in the journal.

Now in its eighth year of publication, SGS http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/titles/1524-0657 is at the leading edge of contemporary theorizing on sex and gender. An interdisciplinary forum, it has explored a variety of clinical, developmental, and cultural topics – erotic transference and countertransference; boyhood homophobia; postmodern gender theory; femininity and the place of desire; bisexuality; infertility; gender jokes, transsexual and transgender categories of identity and experience. And it ranges as well into the visual arts, cinema, and popular culture.

Submissions should be sent to:
