As in previous years, we are pleased to invite applications for two Targeted Research Panels for the BAAS 2026 conference. Targeted Research Panels aim to support, promote, and feature the production of research by people of colour, LGBTQ+ communities and disability communities. BAAS will provide funding of £5000 over three years, to facilitate research culminating in panels/presentations at Glasgow then can attend either the 2027 or 2028 conference.
The deadline for Targeted Research Panel applications is 14th of November 2025. The convenor will submit a proposal for a fully formed panel as outlined in the 2026 BAAS Annual Conference Call for Papers in addition to a short statement of no more than 500 words explaining how the proposed panel addresses the production of research by people of colour, LGBTQ+ communities, disability communities and scholars without regularised institutional support. Convenors should also specify whether they want their panel proposal to be considered for the 2026 Annual Conference if it is not selected as a Targeted Research Panel.
Email submissions should include ‘Targeted Research Panels’ in the subject line, and be sent to trp@baas.ac.uk, copying in conferences@baas.ac.uk.
To discuss ideas informally, please contact the conference organisers and/or the BAAS TRP lead Dr Riziki Millanzi.
