2024 Annual Conference Bursaries

FOR DOCTORAL AND EARLY CAREER RESEARCHERS

We are delighted to announce that we will be offering bursaries for doctoral and early career researchers to attend the Association for Art History’s 2024 Annual Conference taking place in person at the University of Bristol from April 3-5 2024.

The bursaries are assessed by the Association for Art History’s Doctoral and Early Career Research (DECR) committee. These competitive bursaries are available to speakers, session panel organisers and non-speakers who would benefit from attending this international academic conference which features world-class research. The aim of the Association’s Doctoral and Early Career Research committee is to provide a support system and platform for current doctoral researchers and those within 5 years of receiving their PhD doctorate. We work with undergraduate, postgraduate and emerging scholars to provide opportunities to present recent and on-going research at a range of annual events.

Who can apply
The conference bursaries are open to all current doctoral and early career researchers studying art history, in its broadest sense, who would benefit from attending the Association for Art History’s Annual Conference free of charge. Applicants must also be current members of the Association for Art History.

How to apply
Applicants are required to send a brief biography along with a 200-250 word note outlining why a bursary to the Annual Conference would be helpful and beneficial to their research, professional development and future career. Please could you include how many days you would like to attend (i.e. 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, or all three days). These bursary conference proposals must be emailed to the DECR Chair Sonny Ruggiero.

Please email your application by Friday 19 January 2024 with the title DECR Annual Conference Bursary. Successful candidates will be notified by the beginning of March 2024. If your bursary application is unsuccessful, we will honour the early booking ticket rates (this applies only to those who applied for a bursary). If you have any other queries or questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Application deadline: Friday 19 January.
