The Envirotech Special Interest Group is pleased to announce the Joy Parr Envirotech Travel Award for the upcoming American Society for Environmental History conference.

The Joy Parr Envirotech travel award is a grant of $400 toward the costs of attending the annual meetings of the American Society for Environmental History (ASEH) and the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT). The award is named in honor of the eminent Canadian historian of work, gender, and technology Joy Parr.

Eligibility for the award is limited to those presenting a paper or poster at the meeting addressing the interrelated histories of environment and technology. The grant is available to current graduate students, recent PhDs (within the past three years) and independent scholars. The winner will receive a check for $400 at the Envirotech breakfast meeting at the conference.

Applicants should complete the linked questionnaire and email it along with a 1-page CV to envirotechtravelaward@gmail.com.

Applications for the travel grant for the upcoming ASEH conference in Ottawa, Canada, from March 25-29, 2020, are due by January 31, 2020. The applicant selected for the award will be notified by mid-February.
