New Sospeso Membership: A Gifting Opportunity
A tradition with Neapolitan origins, a caff猫 sospeso, or 鈥渟uspended coffee,鈥 is an espresso paid for anonymously in advance. A person of means may purchase two cups of coffee at a bar when only consuming one so that a person in need who inquires later if there is a sospeso available may have a complimentary cup. The sospeso allows members of a community to support each other with anonymous acts of kindness.
When you join or renew, please consider purchasing an additional Sospeso Membership at any of the three most economical levels: Socio ($35), Studente ($20), or Pensionato ($20).
New Sospeso Membership: How to Receive a Sospeso Membership?
Eligible applicants can request a one-year Sospeso Membership by contacting Sheryl Reiss, Membership Chair. The Sospeso membership is intended for international (non-US-based) scholars, contingent faculty, emerging scholars (as defined for the ESC), independent scholars, and/or scholars from underrepresented demographics (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, First Gen, etc.), whose papers have been accepted in IAS-sponsored conference sessions. They will be distributed, as available, on a first-come, first-served basis. Once speakers in IAS-sponsored sessions have been offered the opportunity of the Sospeso Membership, additional Sospesi can be claimed by scholars who apply.
