CALL FOR APPLICATIONS:
The Japan Art History Forum announces the opening of applications for the 2024 JAHF Graduate Student Travel Grant.

Application is open to any member of JAHF who is currently pursuing the study of Japanese art or visual culture at the graduate level and who is scheduled to present a paper at either of these two conference venues. Applicants typically receive a maximum of U.S. $400, and international travelers up to U.S. $800; these funds are intended to cover actual travel or accommodation costs. The selection jury comprises the elected officers on the JAHF board. See the terms and conditions below for more information.
