The Sexualities Project at Northwestern (SPAN) is pleased to offer a limited amount of financial support to graduate students for the purpose of presenting their work at professional conferences and workshops. Students are invited to apply for up to $750 to offset expenses related to their participation at conferences or workshops (in-person or virtual) at which they present their work related to sexuality studies (primarily, but not exclusively, studies that are based on social scientific approaches, broadly construed). At the time of application, a conference proposal or abstract need not have been accepted, but one must have been submitted. Reimbursed expenses may include transportation, lodging, meals, and conference fees.

For conferences that will take place online, we encourage students to apply for SPAN funds to cover registration fees or other expenses related to their participating in the conference.

Under certain circumstances, applications may be considered by special request prior to a quarterly deadline. Please e-mail sexualities@northwestern.edu to make such requests.
