Coalition Friends,
While we await word on acceptances to Feminisms and Rhetorics 2023, please keep the following conference-related funding opportunities in mind! Note that the deadline for applications has been bumped back a week in light of the shifted timeline for acceptances. Applications for both awards are now due by July 14. I will send a reminder of these awards as soon as acceptances have gone out.
