Special Information:
The WCBH organizing committee intends to provide as much support as possible to scholars, postdocs, and students from traditionally underrepresented regions and the Global South by waiving the registration fee and providing lower cost accommodation, and by providing direct funding support in as many cases as possible. We are still securing funding and determining final registration fee structures for the Conference.

For now, we ask that you submit your proposal and indicate that you will be asking for direct funding support, and once the Program Committee has created the final program, we will have a greater sense of the amount of funding, and can respond with greater clarity to each individual request for support.
