Toronto, ON-The IJFAB Essay Prize recognizes excellence in feminist bioethics

include publication in IJFAB 10.1, the tenth anniversary issue (spring 2017),
an award of $500, a one-year subscription to the journal, and membership in the

According to Mary C. Rawlinson, professor of philosophy at Stony Brook
University and founding editor of IJFAB, "The IJFAB Essay Prize is a reflection
of FAB's commitment to mentoring young scholars and promoting their research.
IJFAB frequently publishes articles by younger scholars, and the IJFAB Essay
Prize will bring to this work the special attention it deserves."
