Description
The Non-Tenured Fund, administered by the Latin American Studies Association (LASA), provides travel support for full-time, non-tenure track professors based in the United States to attend and participate as paper presenters at the LASA2027 Congress, themed “Navegar el colapso: reinventar la política, cuidar lo común,” in Mexico City. This grant aims to facilitate scholarly exchange and professional engagement for early-career faculty who may otherwise lack institutional support for conference travel.
