Help send me to the Heterodox Academy Conference
Donation protected
I’ve been invited to attend the very expensive Heterodox Academy Conference from June 20th-21st in New York City. I would love to attend and propose a topic for discussion.
Problem is, I’m a pretty poor graduate student coming to the end of her MA, and the early bird price for the conference and awards dinner is $400 USD that’s $534 CAD (there are no special prices for graduate students). The conference without dinner is $250 USD or about $333 CAD. That’s probably the option I’m going to go with.
The conference rate for the hotel is $289 USD plus 25$ destination fee + 47.64 tax per = 361.64 USD or 484.19 CAD. That’s not happening. But I have found a hostel nearby for $116 CAD/night which I will book for the three nights. For transportation, I’m looking at taking a train from Montreal to New York and back again for $188 CAD.
I guess what I’m saying is I’d like to make this happen because I have a lot to say about university classrooms today, but I know at this time I can’t afford to go without help. So if anyone would like to help sponsor me to go and bring up the issues I’ve written about, I’d greatly appreciate any contributions.
Thank you for your consideration,
Terry
