Antipode Foundation “Right to the Discipline” grants

Notwithstanding many efforts, geography has largely failed, and in many cases even resisted, calls within its own ranks to acknowledge the influence of racism, sexism, heteronormativity, ableism, classism, and related hatreds, on the making and practices of the field. The situation has been exacerbated by Covid-19. We need to amplify the voices of those often unheard and invisibilised in politics, daily life and academic discourse. This call seeks to hear the cries, and amplify the demands, from those seeking thoroughgoing change in classrooms, academic workplaces, conferences, job interviews, journals, research funders, and myriad other sites where unsustainable demands and problematic practices exist (indeed, flourish).

Proposals should address:

Research and writing, as well as less traditional scholarly forms, that might find a home in the pages of Antipode or on AntipodeOnline.org, the journal’s companion website. Can address existing obstacles to the applicant’s research and publication in innovative ways (the living costs of those un/underemployed, in precarious positions, and/or with care responsibilities, for example, are eligible for funding). Successful applicants will work with Antipode’s Editorial Collective and/or the Foundation’s trustees to prepare their work for peer review and, if successful, publication as an open-access article in the journal or on the website, as appropriate. Such work will make a significant contribution towards transforming radical/critical geography into something more diverse, equitable and inclusive, making space for the voices of silenced or unheard struggles and emerging movements, pushing debates forward in novel ways or taking discussions in new directions.
