Call for Applications | HECAA Pandemic Relief Grant
HECAA Pandemic Relief Grant
Applications due by 21 May 2021
HECAA announces a relief program to support new and existing members during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Working with funds raised during our recent Pandemic Relief campaign, HECAA will distribute up to six grants of $250 each to assist recipients suffering from financial hardship. The grants may be used to cover a variety of specific costs, including research, publication subventions, equipment purchases, digital subscriptions, and more. HECAA is also sensitive to the ways in which the pandemic has curtailed employment opportunities and other forms of institutional support more broadly. While the grants cannot fully replace this funding, they can be used to cover expenses for those who have experienced furloughs, layoffs, and/or the cancellation of internships, fellowships, or other institutional funding.
Preference will be given to contingent scholars, graduate students, and other early career scholars (within five years of PhD). All recipients must be HECAA members in good standing. If you are not yet a member, but would like to join, please contact us at hecaamembers@gmail.com. Reduced rate memberships are available for those with demonstrated need.

2021 Georgian Group Symposium: Georgian London Revisited
Online, 22–23 May 2021
Following the successful conferences run by the Georgian Group in previous years on Women and Architecture, on The Architecture of James Gibbs, and on The Work of the Adam Brothers, our symposium for 2021 will highlight changing perspectives and new research on the architecture of London undertaken since the publication of the latest edition of Sir John Summerson’s Georgian London (1988, reissued 2003). A series of short papers by both established and younger scholars will cover aspects of housing and estate development, public and commercial architecture, places of entertainment, and related topics.
This year’s symposium will take place online over Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd May. Joining details for the symposium will be sent to ticket holders on Friday 21st May. Tickets are £25; students can purchase a discounted ticket (£15) by clicking here.
The symposium will be recorded and the recording will be available to all those who have purchased a ticket for a limited period of time after the event takes place. Please read our Terms and Conditions before booking.
