The Education, Conflict, and Emergencies SIG invites its members to apply for a travel award to support participation in the 2022 CIES Annual Meeting in Minneapolis. The award specifically aims to recognize a student or scholar from an under-represented country who needs support to travel to present his/her scholarly research. This award was designed in response to the limited representation of students and scholars from the Global South, particularly those from conflict-affected and post-conflict countries, at the CIES Annual Meeting.
