[See information below about travel funding opportunities for in-person presenters.]
The Call for Proposals is available in English and Spanish (links below), and proposals and presentations are welcome in any of these three languages. During the Virtual Symposium, we will support live interpretation of presentations, as well as live captions for presentations in English.

Opportunity for funding to support in-person presentation travel Presenters accepted for the in-person Symposium are eligible to apply for funding to offset travel expenses related to presenting at the Global Digital Humanities Symposium, up to $700 USD. A limited number of awards are also available to cover accommodations on campus at Owen Hall, a residence hall on MSU campus. Priority will be given to those traveling internationally to attend the event as well as to students and scholars without adequate funding availability otherwise. The application for receiving funds will open upon acceptance to the Symposium. The application form will ask presenters about their travel itinerary and expenses.
Sincerely,
Kristen Mapes, on behalf of the Symposium Planning Committee
