Due Date: January 5th, 2025
The Society for Psychological Anthropology (SPA) announces The Beatrice and John Whiting SPA Biennial Travel Grants to facilitate participation in the SPA Biennial Meetings. The SPA Biennial Meetings represent one of the most important ways in which the SPA promotes and supports the continued growth of the field of psychological anthropology, and these travel grants provide financial assistance to individuals who might not otherwise be able to attend.
Eligibility:
1. Grants are open to undergraduate students, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows.
2. All applicants must be making a presentation at the conference in the form of a paper, poster, photo essay or ethnographic film.
3. Individuals who are participating solely as a session chair, discussant or workshop participant are not eligible.
4. Awardees must attend at least two full days of the conference.
5. Individuals are not eligible to receive the award if they also are receiving any other funding from the SPA to attend the biennial meeting, such as an International Early Career Scholar Travel Grant, or a Robert Lemelson Foundation Fellowship award.
Grants to support travel will range between $400-800 and will be awarded to facilitate participation in the SPA Biennial Meeting.
