Hi Everyone: I have been inviting people who've written on labour history to submit proposals and have started to get good responses. But a question has come up that I can't answer about travel subsidies for low-income and precariously employed scholars and activists. I do not recall that we have a policy, but perhaps the committee developed one at a meeting in the summer when I was away. I don't see anything about that on our website. If we do have one, could someone please send me the details? If we don't have one, I suggest that it's urgent to get one before our deadline of 28 February. The possibility of travel support will make a critical difference to some potential presenters. One for sure is a person we'd be very happy to have. If we do not have a policy, I suggest we develop one before the deadline, even if that requires us to meet (as it were) online. Thoughts? julie
Indeed, I would agree with that.

Good point; I think we can begin the discussion on the listserv.
We did have a brief discussion of this last meeting in the context of the roundtables in which we affirmed that the first priority is to pay the travel and accommodation of roundtable participants. It is hard to know what that will add up to. I think it is our intention of being able to subsidize low wage academics and activists beyond this but I’m not sure how concrete we can be about amounts. Jim M. and Rhonda, who have been working on the budget can add something here, if they can. The call for papers did indicate that we were applying for funding for the general purpose of subsidizing attendance to the extent that it is possible. I’m just not sure how much more we can say about this until we know how successful our SSHRC application is.

Maybe it’s a bit early for us to be setting a deadline for proposals. Some people will need to know about subsidies. I suppose we could accept them provisionally and let them know asap how much we could give them. julie

Also, I’m not sure I even know for sure what we’re working on as a budget. If we’re going to have a discussion about how much to allow for subsidies, we probably need a draft budget to work from. I know Rhonda and Jim were working on that, and maybe something was already circulated. But if that would be a good first step, I think. julie

Hi Folks,
The only thing that I might add is that the budgeting exercise was predicated on the Committee's desire to provide travel assistance to invited roundtable participants, graduate students and (poorly paid) community/labour activists who were contributing to the conference in one way or other, and other participants who might not be able to afford their own travel costs. The SSHRC grant for which we intend to apply would provide at least $25,000 for that express purpose. Other funds which we may acquire - from unions and other sponsors might also be directed in this direction. It seemed that this was the will of the committee and was generally agreed to in preliminary budget discussions - but no hard and fast rules or policies have been established - at least not that I know of.
Jim M.
