Apply for a Global Spotlight Symposium
Thank you for your interest in the CIAWC’s Global Spotlight Symposium program. We are currently accepting applications for 2025-2026. Apply now!
(Applications should include a detailed budget in excel, a project description, and timeline). Deadline is June 16, 2025.
Each year, the Center will feature a Global Spotlight Symposium. Applications should be for projects that are nearing publication, dissemination, or grant proposals. The Center will co-host a workshop for the Project and provide publicity and outreach. In this context, a workshop is a structured convening with multiple panels and presentations where a group of around 6-8 scholars comes together to collaboratively present their research on a specific topic or problem with the aim of publishing a special journal issue, edited volume, or similar. The event may last 1-2 consecutive days.
The Global Spotlight Symposium will be funded up to $8,000. The Center will provide administrative support and space for the project’s workshop/event. The primary convener, and lead name on the application, must be a full-time faculty member in CSSH. Outside participants may be invited to attend. We strongly encourage applications that have co-sponsorship from other institutions, centers, or departments. We anticipate that funds will be used to convene participants in Boston, and may include meals, dissemination of materials, travel, lodging, equipment.
