Society for Caribbean Studies (SCS UK)

Description

The Society for Caribbean Studies aims to advance public education about the Caribbean and its diasporas and to encourage and disseminate research on all aspects of the Caribbean region and its peoples.

The main activity of the Society is its Annual Conference, which has been held every year since 1977. The Conference attracts participants from the United Kingdom, Europe, North America and the Caribbean, and from all disciplines within the broad field of Caribbean studies.

The Society also sponsors a number of bursaries and prizes. The David Nicholls Memorial Prize, sponsored by the David Nicholls Memorial Trust, is awarded every two years to the best postgraduate paper delivered at the Society’s annual conference. The Bridget Jones Travel Award is awarded annually to an arts practitioner living and working in the Caribbean to present their work at the conference. Postgraduate bursaries to the conference are also available.
