The Sexualities Project at Northwestern (SPAN) co-sponsors events organized by Northwestern University faculty, staff, and students. Decisions about co-sponsorship funding will be based on the event’s relevance to our mission of promoting research and education on sexuality in social context. We review such requests on a rolling basis. The application process can be found here.
