Dear Andrew,

Have you considered the possibility of renaming the Award as 'Giulio Regeni Scholar-Activist Project Awards'?

If I am right, Giulio went to Egypt with one of the Antipode Foundation awards. To add his name would be a good way to keep alive his memory and fight the insane logic of power which still today prevents the truth to be disclosed - a very radical endeavour.

Thanks for taking this suggestion into consideration

Oggetto: Antipode Foundation funding opportunities for 2017/18

Hi all,

 

We're pleased to announce the sixth year of the Antipode Foundation's Scholar-Activist Project and International Workshop Awards...

Scholar-Activist Project Awards are single-year grants of up to GB£10,000.00 intended to support collaborations between academics 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 opportunities for scholars to relate to civil society and make mutually beneficial connections.

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 from historically under-represented groups, regions, countries and institutions.

For more information, including application forms and details of recent awardees, see http://antipodefoundation.org/scholar-activist-project-awards/ and http://antipodefoundation.org/international-workshop-awards/ or just get in touch - [log in to unmask] - with any questions.

Thanks, and best wishes
