I'm researching a Black man in Franklin County, North Carolina, who at his death in 1899 owned a farm, according to court records that settled his estate a couple of years later. However, the farm was not formally deeded to him during his lifetime. In 1900, his heirs received the deed to the property, upon paying several hundred dollars. I am guessing that this was a final installment payment on a contract that the man had negotiated with the sellers some years earlier.
Too many scholars wait until the last minute to begin working on their grant proposal instead of smartly laying the groundwork in advance. Lotte Jaspers, Founding Partner and Director at Yellow Research and an expert evaluator for the European Commission, and Dr. Julie Cwikla, Professor and Director for the Center for STEM Education, grant proposal developer, writer, and reviewer, have helped scholars receive hundreds of millions of dollars in funding from the ERC, NIH, NSF, and more.
A reminder that the May 15 deadline is approaching to submit paper proposals for an upcoming symposium as well as applications for Graduate Student Attendee Travel Grants.

Special Issue Theme: Tropical Materialisms: poetics, possibilities, practices
Tropical Materialisms concur on at least three things: humans are always entangled with non-human/material agents; such entanglement is necessary for any creative act to take place; and these same entanglements allow us to interrogate and re-evaluate preconceived notions about the world - from built and natural environments to the fabric of time-and-space.[i]
