The Society for Medieval Feminist Scholarship is delighted to open the call for applications for this year’s Rising Star Grant, due October 15th.
The Rising Star Award ($500) supports the work of BIPOC medieval studies scholars whose work addresses the intersections of two or more of the following areas: race, gender, sexuality, disability, and social justice. This award particularly seeks to support work focused on medieval law/legal discourse; the work of scholar-activists; and/or those researching historical dimensions of racial justice issues.
The award is intended to support BIPOC medieval scholars who are in early stages of their career (e.g. graduate students and early career researchers), independent scholars, or members of the academic precariat, in an effort to provide timely, meaningful support and to help their work become visible to the larger scholarly community. It is intended for the development of a conference paper, a journal article, or a dissertation chapter.
