Conference Fellowship for Contingent Faculty/Independent ScholarsThree awards (up to $1,000) will be given to contingent faculty or independent scholars to present at the annual conference. In response to the growing number of contingent faculty and independent scholars in the field of dance studies and across academia, DSA will offer financial support for travel and attendance to the annual conference. Applicants must have a paper accepted to the conference and be without outside institutional support. In all cases, successful applicants will explain how attending the conference and presenting research will further their professional profile and career growth. Awardees will have hotel and travel reimbursed, up to $1,000 USD, with receipts submitted. Base registration fees will be waived (not including performance tickets or other add-on expenses).

We welcome nominations or submissions from or on behalf of casualized and independent scholars, researchers, and/or artists. In recognition of the precarity of our current economic situation and growing inequalities in income and wealth, any financial award can be donated to the support fund for casualized professionals and/or for students. We realize that awardees may face intense forms of precarity themselves and, as such, we leave this decision to the discretion of individual awardees.
