  1. Small Grants  (up to £50) to support UK based in-person, virtual or hybrid events

The conference will be held in person at University of Boulder, Colorado but there is also time and space in the conference programme for ‘in person’, virtual or hybrid, activities within the UK and within the GMT time zone. The intention is to support Covid-safe feminist geography  engagement and conversation which  has not always been possible for everyone over the past two years.

Activities could include readings groups, sharing best practice, showcasing departmental feminist geography research, seminars with invited speakers (virtual or in person or hybrid events), networking activities, creative activities such as collaging, making zines or mind mapping etc. It is intended that during the conference, details of the events will be shared via the conference’s website and other social media outlets.

The conference programme is not yet confirmed but there will be allowance for this type of event on the afternoon 15th June (2-5pm GMT) and up to a two hour late morning slot on both the  16th and 17th June  to allow for such events. More specific details about the timing will be provided in due course.

Funding can be used to support a range of costs including: catering, room booking, materials to support creative and other activities, transport (for guest speakers or activities off campus)

To apply please submit a 500 word *(maximum) description of the planned activities and a budget.

If you have any questions, please email Rachel and/or Deirdre (see email details below)
