Hi Andrew,
thanks for your clarification.
I believe that renaming the award to 'Giulio Regeni Scholar-Activist
Project Awards' would be a great way to honour his memory. As already
mentioned, Regeni was working as research activist. He committed his
work and life to social change, embodying the aim and and principles of
Antipode.
In my opinion the English (and not only) academic world has been
incredibly silent on what happen to Giulio and renaming the award would
be an important message to the family, the academic world and all the
research activist around the world.
Best
Federico Venturini

>> Scholar-Activist Project Awards are single-year grants of up to

>> and students and non-academic activists (from non-governmental
>> organisations, think tanks, social movements, or
>> community/grassroots organisations, among other places), including
>> programmes of action-orientated and participatory research and
>> publicly-focused forms of geographical investigation. They offer

>>
>> International Workshop Awards are single-year grants of up to
>> GB£10,000.00 available to groups of radical/critical geographers
>> staging events (including conferences, workshops, seminar series and
>> summer schools) that involve the exchange of ideas across
>> disciplinary and sectoral boundaries and intra/international
>> borders, and lead to the building of productive, durable
>> relationships. They make capacity-building possible by enabling the
>> development of a community of researchers.
>>
>> Activists (of all kinds) and students as well as academics are
>> welcome to apply, and applications are welcome from those based
>> outside geography departments; historians, political scientists and
>> many others can apply if their work contributes to radical/critical
>> geographic conversations. Also, the Foundation welcomes proposals

>> institutions.
