    Please note several extra opportunities for participants in the conference:
    • The Hybrid Haskins
    As part of our effort to protect the health of colleagues, but also to give as wide an access as possible to scholars for whom distances and budgets remain a barrier, we are offering online access to the conference at a minimal fee ($20).  Those opting for this route will need to register, so that we'll know whom to unlock access for.  We will send out an access code as the conference approaches.
    • Support for Graduate Students

    In order to encourage and support rising scholars, graduate student members of the Society are eligible to receive support from the Thomas Keefe memorial fund to cover the costs of registration. In addition, thanks to generous support from Society members, a number of bursaries, in the form of three nights’ paid-for accommodation in the conference hotel, are available.

    • Bethell Prize

    Papers by graduate students, untenured faculty, and independent scholars are eligible for the Denis Bethell Prize. For details, see the "Denis Bethell Prize" link here or under the Journal menu above.
