Funding proposals

In light of recent events and following on from the 2020-21 theme of ‘care’, BiGS is committed to supporting and developing events across Birkbeck that respond to the theme of ‘repair’ and its relationship to issues of gender and sexuality.

We are especially interested in supporting events with an interdepartmental or interdisciplinary focus, and those that create encounters between academics, activists, artists and the public.

While repair is our guiding theme, we are keen to support other gender and sexuality related events too.

For the first term of the academic year 2021-22 at least, you should be thinking of planning these events as online activities.
