Cashmere Subvention Grant in Jewish Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies
Applications due April 15
The AJS Women’s Caucus announces a grant of $1000 to support scholarly publication in the area of Jewish Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies. Book proposals to be considered for the grant must make a clear argument for the ways in which the work represents a contribution to any of these fields and a subfield of Jewish Studies. Grant is open to scholars at all stages of their careers. While a contract for publication is not required at the time of application, funds can only be disbursed once a contract with a publisher is executed. In the hope that the subvention grant might help a scholar to secure a contract, the expectation is that the contract will be in hand within 12 months of receiving the award.
To apply, compile all documents into 1 file (PDF or DOC) and send to ajswomenscaucus@gmail.com:
* 2-5 page CV
* 5-6 page book proposal that includes current state of project
* 2 page selected bibliography
The winner will be announced and honored at the Women’s Caucus Breakfast, to which they are invited at our cost, and should therefore plan to attend.

The prize will be given in recognition of a paper presented at the previous year’s AJS annual meeting within any discipline of Jewish studies that opens up new areas of inquiry or advances Jewish feminist or gender studies. To be considered, papers must have been prepared especially for presentation at the previous year’s AJS annual meeting. Papers should be submitted electronically to ajswomenscaucus@gmail.comin publishable form (with full citations and bibliography).
