Antipode Foundation Scholar-Activist Project Awards
are grants of up to £10,000 to support collaborations between
academics, non-academics and activists (from NGOs, think tanks, social
movements, or community grassroots organisations, among other places)
that further radical analyses of geographical issues and engender the
development of a new and better society. They are aimed at promoting
programmes of action-research, participation and engagement, cooperation
and co-enquiry, and more publicly-focused forms of geographical
investigation.
The Foundation seeks to fund work that’s mutually
beneficial and leads to the exchange of ideas across and beyond the
borders of the academy, and builds meaningful relationships and
productive partnerships.
International Workshop Awards
are grants of up to £10,000 to support radical geographers holding
events such as conferences, workshops, seminar series, summer schools,
and action research meetings. We encourage collaboration–whether with
fellow scholars, research groups, university departments, NGOs, think
tanks, or social movements–the building of capacity, and development of
community. The Foundation encourages initiatives that are adventurous,
that explore the boundaries of established academic practice, and that
trespass and disrupt disciplinary (and other) borders.
We’d like to see work that is innovative and original, but more than that we want to fund work that is significant:
we’d like to support activities that have implications for praxis, to
better understand contemporary political concerns and to develop
alternatives. Note also that the Foundation especially welcomes
applications from historically under-represented groups, regions,
countries and institutions.
