SLAS Conference ‘Latin American Scholar’ Grants
Funds are available to support the travel and accommodation costs of scholars based in Latin America giving papers at the SLAS Annual Conference. Up to £600 plus conference registration fees is available to individual applicants; the total sum available under this scheme is £3,000. In some circumstances, funds may be granted to prominent speakers from outside the academy (for example representatives of NGOs). Please note that while we accept applications on behalf of Latin American scholars working outside the region (for example in the United States), priority will be given to those who work in Latin America or are employed by Latin American institutions.
Latin American scholars presenting papers at the SLAS Conference are nominated for grants by the convenors of their panels. Convenors may nominate only one Latin American scholar for a grant per panel. Convenors should contact the SLAS Secretary directly by e-mail, giving details of the speaker and the title of his or her paper, by the deadline of 15 February. You will be informed promptly after this deadline as to the outcome of your nomination.
Nominations should be submitted by e-mail to: Adrian.Pearce@ntu.ac.uk. They will be considered by a panel consisting of the President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer, on the basis of the paper proposed and its “fit” with the panel. Nominations arriving after the deadline will not be considered under any circumstances.
SLAS Conference Postgraduate Bursaries
SLAS bursaries are available to postgraduate students based at British institutions of higher education (of any nationality) who are presenting papers at the SLAS Annual Conference. These bursaries cover a contribution towards “shared facilities” postgraduate accommodation costs and registration fees; they do not cover any travel costs associated with attending the conference. £2,000 has been made available for SLAS Conference postgraduate bursaries, and it is anticipated that around ten awards will be made each year.
