Funding opportunity for Postgraduate Students and Independent Historians
The Australian Historical Association (AHA) in association with the Copyright Agency Limited (CAL) is pleased to announce the availability of ten Travel and Writing Bursaries linked to this year's AHA conference to be held at the University of Western Australia and Notre Dame, 5-9 July 2010.
The bursaries are intended to encourage and support emerging historians, particularly those who would otherwise be unable to attend the conference. The bursary, valued at $600 per applicant, provides financial assistance to conference participants who have little or no institutional support to cover their conference costs. These may
include postgraduate students and independent scholars in the fields of history, heritage and museum studies. The bursary is to be used to cover travel and accommodation; the conference registration fee will be waived. Those who have already submitted abstracts to the Conference and/or paid their registration are welcome to apply. The bursaries will support ten scholars to attend the conference, present
papers within the overall conference program and participate in follow-up mentoring which will be held during the Conference. In addition they will attend two Writing Workshops (scheduled for 5 and 9 July). Under the terms of the bursary they will be expected to submit a draft article by June 30 the revised article to the AHA's journal, History Australia, before 30 November 2010, to be considered for publication.
The workshops and mentoring will be conducted by experienced historians and will assist the process of turning a conference paper into a journal article. The editors of History Australia, Penny Russell and Richard White, will be closely involved. A limited number of places in the mentoring scheme may be made available to applicants
unsuccessful in obtaining a bursary. Applications should be made on the form provided and sent electronically to the editors at history.australia@sydney.edu.au.
