Graduate Students
The International Society of Anglo-Saxonists offers exciting opportunities for graduate students working in all areas of Anglo-Saxon studies. Every two years the Society hosts a graduate workshop which takes place just before the ISAS biennial conference and it annually sponsors ‘New Voices in Anglo-Saxon Studies’ sessions by graduate students and young researchers at the International Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University and at the International Medieval Congress at the University of Leeds. The Society is able to offer a number of travel awards to enable students to attend the graduate workshop. Students are also encouraged to apply for funding from the Lynne Grundy Memorial trust, with which the Society maintains close ties.
Lynne Grundy Memorial Trust. Lynne Grundy was well-known to members of ISAS, not least for her unsurpassed work on the theology of her fellow Eynsham alumn, Aelfric. This Trust continues to honour her memory by offering several grants annually to students and faculty. For more information, please visit the Lynne Grundy Memorial Trust.
