Travel Assistance
The Society will fund grants of up to $200 to help defray registration or travel costs for Society members presenting papers on ISGS-sponsored panels or participating in ISGS readings. The awards will be granted once a year (in case of unused funds, they will roll-over to the following year). Members may apply for a grant only once during any three-year period. Send request with conference and panel information, as well as your name, affiliation, accepted paper title and reason for need of assistance to: susanglaspellsociety@gmail.com
Paper Prizes
The Society will award prizes of $100 for the best published paper and $50 for the best conference paper on any aspect of Susan Glaspell’s life and works. Prizes will be available annually and are open to non-members as well as ISGS members. Awards will be determined by the Officers and Executive Council of the ISGS and will be announced at the ISGS Business Meeting and posted on the ISGS website. Articles and papers must be emailed as pdf (articles) or Word (papers) attachments to susanglaspellsociety@gmail.com at any time but at least four weeks prior to the posted date of the Business Meeting. Please ensure that the author’s identification is masked on the submitted work itself, as the work will be assessed through a blind peer review process.
Translation Grant
In order to encourage the translation of Glaspell’s writing, the Society offers translation publication grants of up to $300 to assist financially with the publication of Glaspell’s work in multiple languages. Applicants may only apply for this grant once every three years.
