Best Undergraduate and Best Graduate Papers in Labor Studies
Nominations are now open for the best undergraduate and graduate papers written on a labor-related topic during the current academic year (2007-2008). Each winning paper will garner its author a prize of $250. The papers must have been written during the current academic year (2007-2008) at one of the University of Washington campuses.

Students may submit their own papers, or faculty members may nominate outstanding papers they have read during the course of the year.
