Carceral Geography Working Group (CGWG)

A £50 prize will be awarded for the best undergraduate dissertation. The prize-winner will also be invited to feature their writing on the Carceral Geography website.

Nominated dissertations should:

• Be an outstanding theoretical and/or empirical piece of work
• Be usually 8,000 words or more in length.
• Have been submitted for formal assessment no earlier than 12 months before the prize deadline for a BA/BSc level degree programme.
• Include a full set of references and images (as relevant).
• Be submitted in PDF format.

Students need not necessarily be aligned to a geography(-related) discipline but their work should engage with issues of carcerality and/or themes emergent in carceral geographies. We welcome entries from students outside of the UK but the dissertation should be submitted in (or professionally translated to) English.

Dissertations should be nominated by either a research supervisor, department Dissertation Coordinator, Head of Department, or Head of Discipline. Please note that a department may not submit more than one entry and nominated dissertations should not be submitted for consideration for any other RGS-IBG prizes.

For any further details or questions please contact Dr Lara Palombo at lara.palombo@mq.edu.au

Please use this form to submit your student's dissertation for consideration for this prize. You will be asked to submit the dissertation itself via email to rhed@rgs.org

Deadline: 15 July.
