Entries from international publications are eligible, but the topic should shed light on the causes, consequences and remedies of problems in American society. The work should analyze and critique the policies, relationships and events behind these problems and solutions. Originality, excellence of writing and the impact of the article(s) also will be considered. DEADLINE TO ENTER: Feb. 7, 2025 Direct questions to Jenna Braunstein at jenna-braunstein@northwestern.edu
