Professional Development Grants

The KU African Studies Resource Center will award several small professional development grants to MAAAS members (students, faculty members, or independent scholars) to help defray the costs of travel to present a paper or participate in a panel discussion at the upcoming (October 3-4, 2003) annual meeting in Lawrence, KS. A very brief application sheet will be made available on the ASRC website shortly and publicized via the Kuafri-L listserver. Our goal is to help as many scholars as possible with as much money as the limited budget allows. MAAAS members interested in learning more about the grants should contact the Assistant Secretary-Treasurer, Garth Myers (gmyers@ku.edu).
