Today we launched a call for proposals for Antipode Foundation “Right to the Discipline” grants: https://antipodeonline.org/a-right-to-the-discipline/ We are looking to fund 10-12 projects, and will be accepting applications until 31 March 2025.
Last year we received 225 applications and made 14 grants—a success rate of 6.2%. It has been a pleasure to work with the grant recipients so far, and we look forward to hearing more as their projects come together in the coming months. The teams in Lebanon and Palestine in particular are in our minds and hearts, and we wish the very best to them.
