Deadline: 31 March 2025
The Antipode Foundation is excited to announce its “Right to the Discipline” Grant Program, intended to facilitate creative intellectual and political interventions, inventive forms of collaboration and tears in the fabric of extant orthodoxies in the discipline.
Whilst they welcome applications from those outside the academy and those across the social sciences, humanities and beyond, proposals need to engage with and seek to contribute to conversations ongoing in Antipode and radical geography more generally. There are many radical practices, ideas, and sites of knowledge production that do not receive support in the current funding environment.
This call aims to encourage imaginative, daring, and unruly scholarship and praxis, including but not limited to scholar-activism, workshops, and conventional modes of research. They recognise movements and forces of social and spatial change already at work inside/outside the academy, and wish to amplify interventions that might otherwise not receive funding. In so doing, they want to support attempts to go beyond and reshape, the boundaries of established academic practice.
Funding Information
- The Antipode Foundation expects to allocate each initiative up to £10,000.00 (ten thousand pounds sterling, or its equivalent in the awardee’s currency of choice), and the amounts of its grants will vary according to the proposed initiative.
- Funds may be used to address existing obstacles to the applicant’s research and publication in innovative ways (the living costs of those un/underemployed, in precarious positions, and/or with care responsibilities, for example, are eligible for funding).
Eligibility Criteria
- Anyone can apply for a grant (including academics and students, and activists of all kinds):
- Projects can take many forms, for example, collaborative research with artistic, community, social movement, or other kinds of groups;
- the production of educational materials and other innovative pedagogical initiatives;
- events, gatherings, and writing retreats with clear outputs;
- aesthetic interventions and media projects with a scholarly bent; or
- more conventional research and writing projects about social and spatial change.
- The Antipode Foundation will explicitly privilege early-career researchers/non-tenure-track applicants, and applicants from historically under-represented groups, regions, countries and institutions, in its decision-making processes.
