[Linford Lamptey]

Hi All,
GSOLE is accepting submissions for grants.

*About the Program*
The Global Society for Online Literacy Educators (GSOLE) is an
international organization
that connects those who teach writing, reading, and composition as digital
literacies in online
settings. Dedicated to diversity, inclusivity, and access in literacy-based
online education, GSOLE
awards grants to members to support research in relevant areas of interest
related to its
mission.

GSOLE will award one or more grants to support research related to online
literacy
education. We welcome proposals and research that address GSOLE’s mission
in general and
that focuses on equity and inclusion in online teaching and learning,
including work from
writing centers and studios. We are particularly inviting emerging scholars
(e.g. graduate
students) and scholars from underrepresented groups and institutions to
apply.
For those interested, we are offering a mentorship-based feedback model
this year
where applicants can submit a proposal for early feedback (by April 12,
2024) and resubmit for
final consideration (by May 17, 2024).
