Congratulations to our Spring 2011
Rossing Prize Winners


Awarded the Rossing Prize in Women's Studies

Karen Hopper
"Women in Electoral Politics"
In her essay, Karen postulates that successful female candidates would emphasize hard political issues in their campaigns, and then shows through her research on campaign ads that this does not actually prove true.


Elizabeth Terpstra 
“The Journey from Ed to Ellen: Fitting into a Binary Gender System”
This essay skillfully weaves together the biography of Ellen Krug, a post-op male to female and selected themes from gender theory.  The sensitive and sympathetic treatment of Ellen’s story and the treatment of theory created a fine piece of writing.


Catey Jordan
“Freedom of Expression: Gender Diversity at St. Olaf College”
This project explores the context of gender identity at St. Olaf, informed by contemporary gender theory. Catey explains gender and transgender identity with attention to key issues of naturalization and essentialism, and usefully questions the sex/gender distinction.


Annika Tohlen - Annika's Distinction project earned a Rossing Prize as well.
