Description
This program funds conferences and workshops that foster the development of inclusive communities of anthropologists and advance significant, innovative research in the field. Supported conferences are public events aimed at large audiences, prioritizing gatherings that bring together members of major international anthropological organizations. Supported workshops are small, closed meetings where scholars collaborate intensively on pressing anthropological themes. The grant is designed to make such events more inclusive and accessible, particularly for scholars who may lack resources to participate.
