[RNLD] CALL FOR APPLICATIONS for the Endangered Material Knowledge Programme

[ELDP]

*Hello,*

*Please could you kindly send out the call for applications below?*

*Many thanks,*
*Peta*


----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Endangered Material Knowledge Programme (EMKP) is a major new programme
that will help preserve the knowledge of endangered material practices. The
programme will provide grants for documentation work on traditional
material practices and knowledge systems that are threatened in some way,
and in danger of disappearing. It focuses on the ‘made world’ and how
people create, build, repair and use the natural resources and objects to
shape their societies, spaces, and bodies. The scope of this work will be
potentially huge – material practices can range from special events to the
production and use of everyday household items like cooking implements,
agricultural tools or clothes, as well the houses and buildings that people
occupy.



The programme’s objective is to preserve the knowledge in perpetuity
through an open access, digital repository. Scholars from across the world
are invited to apply for funding to spend time with communities and
recording practices using a range of digital formats. Scholars can apply
for a small grant, which is awarded for up to one year and with a maximum
budget of £15,000, or a large grant, awarded for up to two years with a
maximum budget of £70,000. *Applications close at midnight GMT on the
15th January 2020*.



Applications can be submitted here:

EMKP is supported by Arcadia (https://www.arcadiafund.org.uk)
<https://www.arcadiafund.org.uk/>, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and
Peter Baldwin and hosted by the Department of Africa, Oceania and the
Americas at the British Museum will deliver this three-year programme of
grants (2018-2021).
