The Outreach and Event Grant is designed to encourage DHS members to convene an event to highlight and promote the field of design history. We invite our members to organise workshops, seminars, lectures, or any event that promotes the field.
This award has been created to recognise and support ground-breaking research and projects that actively contribute to the decolonisation of design history. We especially encourage applications from researchers and students from the Global Majority, those who are first-generation university entrants, those with disabilities and other marginalised communities and those whose work foregrounds, diverse perspectives and under-represented narratives within design history.
The Virtual Event Grant facilitates interaction, debate, and research activity in design history through virtual initiatives proposed by researchers. It represents the Society’s commitment to promoting and to supporting access to the field of design history, encouraging transnational dialogue with less negative impact on the environment.
The Research Access Grant is awarded by the DHS annually to assist students and established academics who need to travel to conduct essential research for their design history scholarship or to present new research at key academic conferences.
The Research Publication Grant is awarded by the DHS annually to assist those engaged in design history research with the publication of their research in research-based outputs, such as peer-reviewed journal articles or books published by an academic press or museum institution.
The Research Exhibition Grant is awarded by the DHS annually to assist those engaged in design history research that leads to an exhibition or are the organisation of an exhibition. The exhibition or display may be permanent or temporary and take a physical and/or digital format.
The Design History Society has a bursary fund to assist DHS Student members whose papers have been accepted for presentation at our annual conference. The Society endeavours to provide bursaries for up to 5 DHS Student members presenting at the Annual Conference. Each bursary includes the DHS student member early bird delegate fee, attendance at the gala dinner and up to £200 towards travel and accommodation costs.
