About the Routledge ABES Fund

In recognition of the contribution that Literary Studies scholars have made in the development of our newest and most exciting product for the community, we are pleased to announce the foundation of the Routledge ABES fund.

The Routledge ABES fund aims to provide financial assistance to the organisers of academic conferences, in the form of a travel grant that can be paid to a recipient of the organiser's choice. Alternatively, this can be distributed between a number of participants, as appropriate.

The Routledge ABES fund will cover conferences in all of the different subject areas covered by Routledge ABES and awards are made on the recommendation of the relevant Section Editor. We have already made awards to the following conferences in 2009
