RWS Postgraduate Essay Competition

The Raymond Williams Society is holding its second postgraduate student essay competition for work grounded in the tradition of cultural materialism.

The prize for the winning entry is £100 GBP, and a year's subscription to the Society. The winning essay will also be considered for publication in a future issue of our peer-reviewed journal Key Words: A Journal of Cultural Materialism.
