About EMR Thesis Prizes
The Senior Thesis Prize recognizes projects that contribute to current scholarly discourses about ethnicity, migration, indigeneity, race, and/or rights. There is no restriction on field, methodology, or the form of the theses to be considered for this prize. Creative projects are eligible.
Projects will be evaluated based on their depth and breadth of research, originality of topic, clarity of expression, and strength of argument. The winning thesis or theses will define, explore, and expand its area of knowledge in ethnicity, migration, indigeneity, race, or rights. Projects can have a US/domestic, international, or transnational focus.
