The Migration and Diaspora Studies Initiative welcomes applications from faculty and graduate students from any discipline that support events and activities (such as interdisciplinary conferences, seminars, talks, short films, and artistic installations) that will:

  • facilitate discussion and dialogue amongst members of Carleton’s MDS community.
  • provide intellectual benefits to the interdisciplinary and diverse MDS community.
  • raise the profile of the Migration & Diaspora studies initiative at Carleton, and with national and international communities of scholars and outside partners.

Please note that these funds are not intended for individual research projects.

The value of these awards will not exceed $10,000 and the expectation is that most awards in this category will be no more than $5,000. Applications for amounts over $1,000 must be submitted by April 5, 2015 for events that will take place between April 6, 2015 and April 30, 2016.

Your application should include an itemized budget, a short proposal outlining the project, and a completed MDS_Event funding request form
