| Abstract | This round table discussion will examine the often significant problems surrounding the attracting of research funding for specifically feminist academic research projects. Contributors will debate the ethics and practicalities of the application and selection procedures and pool their experience, successful or otherwise, in these areas. In so doing, the debate will help to illuminate best practices for both present and future feminist academics in their endeavour to attract funding for their research. Participants of this round table include Theresa Earenfight (Seattle University), Elizabeth Herbert McAvoy (Swansea University), and Diane Watt (Aberystwyth University). |
