Feminist theory workshop travel awards

Duke University, Durham, NC USA

Up to $1,000

Deadline October 31, 2017

The Feminist Theory Workshop (FTW), which is now in its twelfth year offers a unique opportunity for scholars to engage in sustained dialogue about feminist theory as a scholarly domain of inquiry. The workshop will be held March 23-24, 2018 at Duke University in Durham, NC. The “workshop” approach of this conference requires active participation of both presenters and attendees. The FTW consists of seminars led by visiting scholars, keynote lectures, and roundtable discussions. Our keynote speakers for 2018 are Jennifer Nash, Associate Professor, African-American Studies & Gender and Sexuality Studies at Northwestern University ;  Denise Ferreira da Silva, Director & Associate Professor of the Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice at the University of British Columbia; Silvia Federici, Professor Emerita of New College at Hofstra University; and Anne Allison, Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Duke University ; in addition to special guests who will serve on the closing roundtable.

The Feminist Theory Workshop (FTW ) hosts participants from institutions all over the globe, as these diverse voices continue to be crucial to the workshop’s drive to understand feminist theory across both disciplinary and national boundaries. We are offering at least five awards of up to $1,000 to enable the participation of post-graduate and post-doctoral emerging scholars from outside the United States. The awards are to fund the travel expenses of scholars coming from institutions outside the US to attend the workshop. NO payment of any funds will be made to any individual. Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies will make direct payments to the contracted travel agent for the approved travel expenses. The FTW provides some meals at the conference and there are NO registration fees to attend. Attendees are responsible for their own lodging and additional transportation arrangements.
