TTH Darwinism Essay Competition - 2009
To celebrate 200 years since the birth of Charles Darwin and 150 years since the publication of The Origin of the Species, the Triple Helix is running an essay competition for all undergraduate and honours students at the University of Melbourne.
The Origin of Species, sparked an intellectual, social and cultural revolution, radically transforming our understanding of life on this planet – the origins of life, our relationship to other species and the way life can adapt or fail to do so in the face of environmental change.
Essays on any topic exploring an aspect of the relationship between Darwinism and society – both past and present – are eligible for submission. What does the theory of evolution mean for our understanding of politics, economics, culture, philosophy, law, medicine, psychology, sociology, history and religion? We want your thoughts!
Great prizes to be won!
Essays must be between 1,500 and 2,500 words in length and conform to the Triple Helix referencing style.
Entries will be judged by the Triple Helix Editorial Depart
ment and the winner presented with their award at the official launch of our September edition.
The winning entry along with the shortlist will be published in print and online in September 2009.
Submissions are due by May 29 2009
