Full conference fees include lunch, dinner, and refreshments from afternoon tea on 2nd July to lunch on 4th July, rum punch reception, and conference dinner. Concessionary rates are available only to students and unwaged people.
A limited number of bursaries are available to postgraduate students who are presenting papers at the conference. If you have been awarded a bursary, you will have received an email notifying you of this and this option will be available from the list below. If it is not available, you have not been granted a bursary.
Daily rates include lunch and refreshments on the relevant day, but not evening meal or rum punch reception. Day delegates wishing to attend the rum punch reception and conference dinner should add the additional £30 (full) or £20 (concessions) ticket price to their fee.
Membership of the Society is mandatory for conference attendance and should be added (£10) to the conference fee. Members receive the Society’s newsletter, announcements of upcoming events through our email list, eligibility for Society prizes and awards, and the possibility of publication of conference papers on our website.

Bridget Jones Award Optional Donation: We ask conference participants to consider making a donation towards the costs of the Bridget Jones Award. The Award enables an artist from the Caribbean to travel to the conference in order to present their work, and is an important but expensive part of the conference. For more information, please see the main SCS website. If you would like to contribute a donation towards the costs of offering the Award in future years, please insert the amount here. (Please insert '0' if you do not wish to make a donation.)
The Society for Caribbean Studies is a registered charity. This allows the Society to claim back tax paid by UK taxpayers on donations that are given as 'Gift Aid'. If you are making a donation and are a UK taxpaper, please check the 'Gift Aid' box to indicate that: a) you have paid, or will pay, at least as much UK tax this financial year as the amount the Society will reclaim on your donation (i.e. 28% of the donation) and b) that you want the Society to claim tax back for this donation.
