Andrew August Discussion

The Mid-Atlantic Conference on British Studies announces the 2017-2018 research travel award for graduate students in British Studies. A fund of $1,000 is available for 2017-18, with the possibility of awarding a single grant or two grants of $500 each. The dissertation advisor of the graduate student must be a member of the MACBS and award winners will be expected to present a paper at the MACBS conference following their research travel (the next MACBS conference will be Spring 2018). The award is intended for research travel expenses only. Recipients may use the award to fund travel abroad or domestically, as long as the topic being researched relates to British Studies. Research travel should be commenced by the end of summer 2018.

Applications from graduate students should be received by February 1, 2017. Applicants should submit a research proposal (max. 1,000 words) a c.v., a cover letter including the title of their dissertation, the name of their advisor, and their stage in graduate school (MA, ABD, Ph.D. candidate), and one letter of support from their thesis advisor.

All materials should be sent by email to:
Prof. Andrew August, President, MACBS

Awards will be announced by March 1, 2017 and presented at the MACBS conference in April.
