Cashmere Subvention Award in Jewish, Gender, and Women's Studies

The AJS Gender Justice Caucus announces a grant of $1,000 to support scholarly publication in the area of Jewish, Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies. Book proposals to be considered for the grant must make a clear argument for the ways in which the work represents a contribution to any of these fields and a subfield of Jewish Studies. The grant is open to scholars at all stages of their careers. While a contract for publication is not required at the time of application, funds can only be disbursed once a contract with a publisher is executed. In the hope that the subvention grant might help a scholar to secure a contract, the expectation is that the contract will be in hand within 12 months of receiving the award.

DEADLINE: APRIL 30
