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.
