Travel Bursaries

Lesbian Lives is committed to making the conference accessible to international scholars particularly from the global south, the Pacific Rim, and Muslim countries.

Sponsorship of travel bursaries in the amount of $1,500 for an international scholar will defray travel costs for the conference.

Contributions to travel bursaries will be recognized in the print program.

Sinister Wisdom, a US 501c3 organization, is the fiscal sponsor of the conference. Contributions are tax-deductible.

“It’s revolutionary to connect with love”

"Gender is the poetry each of us makes out of the language we are taught."

“The problem with the use of language of Revolution without praxis is that it promises to change everything while keeping everything the same. “
