[Commlist] 2 scholarships for the SSS 2019 with Superbia/Pride for Manchester students

NB: tight deadline! *Wednesday 30 January*

Superbia is the year-round programme of culture from Manchester Pride. 
We curate, promote and support LGBT+ culture in Greater Manchester, 
encouraging participation, supporting new work and engaging Manchester’s 
thriving LGBT+ community. Through our dedicated Superbia Grants 
programme we have assisted dozens of people to produce hundreds of 
projects engaging thousands of participants across the city.


We take the broadest possible view of culture, which of course includes 
education and learning. We are pleased to develop our relationship with 
the *Sexuality Summer School (SSS)* at the University of Manchester by 
offering two annual *Superbia Scholarships* to the value of £175 each, 
to enable students to attend the Sexuality Summer School who might not 
otherwise be able to. The Scholarships are available to anyone who 
currently lives, works or studies in Greater Manchester, and who 
otherwise might not apply for the SSS.


The Sexuality Summer School is an annual five-day event comprising 
daytime seminars and workshops for up to 40 registered postgraduates, 
alongside a range of public events, including lectures, discussions, 
performances and film screenings. This year’s Sexuality Summer School 
(Monday 20– Friday 24 May) is organised around the theme ‘Queer 
Dialogues’, foregrounding skill-sharing, knowledge-exchange, theoretical 
debates and public engagement in relation to feminist and queer debates 
on sexuality. Postgraduate students on the SSS will have the opportunity 
to discuss their current research, developing ideas and potential future 
collaborations with an interdisciplinary group of PhD and Master’s 
students engaged in the study of sexuality. Moreover, the academics, 
artists and activists from our public events schedule lead the daytime 
workshops, giving students the chance to explore questions about ‘Queer 
Dialogues’ in critical and creative practice. Registration costs £150 
and opens on Thursday 28 February 2019.


If you wish to apply for a Superbia Scholarship, please submit 
approximately 250 words explaining why the Sexuality Summer School 2019 
would be a valuable experience for you, what you will bring to it, and
