from any disciplinary approach will receive full consideration. ESWIP strives to
provide scholars from all academic ranks and disciplines with a highly
supportive professional community.
All submissions will be anonymously reviewed; names should appear only on a

submission considered for a travel stipend, please mark undergraduate or
graduate, respectively, on your cover page. Please e-mail all submissions to
