Writing and Injustice: This series focuses on places in the world where the phenomenon of social and economic injustice is creating conditions that impel writers to migrate or to write under the threat of censorship, imprisonment, or worse. The ICWT was originally committed to a "translators-in-exile" initiative. We will revive this initiative and extend it to the category of "writers-at-risk" and “writing on the border.”
While we are committed to this initiative, we also fund other projects on a competitive basis in the following areas:- Creative writing (prose fiction, poetry, plays);
- Creative non-fiction writing (journalism, memoirs, essays, historical writing that explores modes of writing and narration outside standard academic forms, experimental poet-critic writing, manifestoes, creative glosses, multi-media works, digital hybrids);
- A translation of a work or part of a work;
- A workshop, lecture, conference, performance, reading of event featuring a creative writer or translator.
ICWT Fellowship proposals will be evaluated by the Advisory Committee.
Deadlines to apply for ICWT Fellowships are as follows:- October 15 (proposals for projects scheduled for Winter or Spring)
- January 14 (proposals for projects scheduled for Fall, Winter, or Spring of the next academic year)
YOUR PROPOSAL should contain a brief description of the event; the cv of the principal investigator; a bibliography of the writer or translator being proposed; a preliminary budget.
Please forward proposals to the Director: icwt@uci.edu
