Donation

Dear MES community,

Within the culture of our community we believe in the importance of encompassing diverse voices within the community; including the voices of people marginalised by their institutions, their finances, their country's finances, etc.). For such belief to be accomplished, we depend on the generosity of the members of our community.

To invite voices of scholars whom we might not hear from due to financial constraints, we would like to ask for contributions from the members of the community. Your support, of any amount, goes directly to the persons needing the support.

In MES9, we plan to support scholars from countries with middle or low Human Development Index.

If you are able to contribute to support in this way, please read the following instructions in order to donate.
