FOUNDATION FOR THE SOCIOLOGY OF HEALTH AND ILLNESS


CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR SYMPOSIA/ WORKSHOPS



The Foundation for the Sociology of Health and Illness wishes to support symposia and workshops dealing with important issues in the field. These may be on any topic, but the Foundation is particularly keen to support dissemination, discussion and debate on inter-disciplinary themes with wide public relevance.


It is expected that the symposia/workshops will typically be one-day events, although the case for a two-day meeting will be considered. While it is expected that in some instances speakers will be by invitation, attendance should generally be open to anyone with an interest in the workshop theme. 

A maximum of £2000 will be available per event for expenses related to speakers' travel, hiring a venue and hospitality. The Foundation will welcome bids that include other sources of funding to which the Foundation grant could be a contribution.

Proposals of no more than two pages, containing a detailed description of the content of the symposia/workshop and an outline budget should be sent to the Chair of the Foundation, Professor Roisin Pill, for consideration by the Trustees:

Applications should be received by 28 February 2006

Applicants will be notified of the Trustees' Decision by 28 March, 2006
