The GPWSC offers funding to support events hosted by consortium members that focus on themes related to women’s, gender, and sexuality studies.
Events must be free and open to the public, and can include panels, lectures, and other formats. Funding can be used for speaker fees, materials, and other event related costs.
Please use the form below to submit your event proposal.
In the spirit of supporting untentured and recently tenured faculty with their professional development, we will organize lecture tours for three or four junior, adjunct or recently-tenured faculty. Each one will travel to two campuses within the consortium network to deliver a talk about a topic of their choosing.
The consortium will announce the opportunity, request talk descriptions, and dates they are available to give this talk. We will then contact all consortium members to ask them to invite these scholars to their campuses.
The GPWSC pays each speaker an honorarium, which includes travel expenses to and from their host campuses.
Each speaker will receive $1500 for two talks and $1000 for one talk.
