Description
The Society for Ethnomusicology’s North American Travel Awards support presenters traveling to its Annual Meeting from Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. The program provides annual travel support rather than funding a separate research project. It is intended for non-students working part-time while seeking full-time employment, or holding temporary positions of less than one year while seeking permanent employment.
The Annual Meeting Program Committee serves as the Travel Fund Award Committee and reviews accepted presenters who request consideration. Selection is based on the quality of presentation abstracts, with awards intended to represent diverse geographic regions over time. Recipients must commit to attending the Annual Meeting, where they receive their awards.
