Erina Duganne, an assistant professor of art history at Texas State University, has been awarded a $200 TAA Publication Grant. The grant will cover the cost of reproducing images for her essay, "Family Folktales: Carrie Mae Weems, Allan Sekula, and the Critique of Documentary Photography," which will appear in English Language Notes in fall 2011.
"This grant was exceedingly helpful, since without it, I would not have been able to publish the necessary images that I discuss in great detail in this essay and thus much of the nuances of the arguments that I make would have been lost," said Duganne. "This grant is very important to scholars like myself who need to reproduce visual images with their publications but cannot afford the high reproduction and copyright costs associated with these reproductions."

Authors can apply for publication grants of up to $1,000 if you are a TAA member, or a grant of up to $250 if you are not a TAA member to cover expenses incurred in publishing already accepted print academic journal articles and books including academic journal page costs or university press subventions; the cost of preparing artwork or other charts, diagrams, or images to be included in accepted journal articles or academic books; and journal reprint costs.
Grants are also available for expenses incurred as a direct result of research leading to publication of a book or article, including:
- Interlibrary loan costs, or computer time costs incurred in the analysis of data, leading to publication of academic print materials.
- Costs of single photocopies of source materials for research related to the publication of an article or book.
- Costs of secretarial (copying and/or delivery) services incurred in the preparation of academic print materials.
- Cost of permissions incurred in the preparation of academic print materials for reprinting images, quoted material.
Grant funds are also available for costs incurred by the author for textbook projects, provided the textbook is not realistically expected to yield royalties sufficient to recover the costs for which the grant is sought.
