Mentoring Program |
Application deadline: 1 July 2019 2019–20 Call for participationThe RSA is pleased to announce the third cycle of our mentoring program, which matches mid-career and senior scholars and professionals with graduate students who have completed coursework and postdoctoral scholars who have completed terminal degrees within the last five years. For the third cycle, preference will be given to prospective mentees who did not participate in the second (2018–19) cycle. The purpose of the program is to make more transparent how to thrive as a Renaissance studies scholar, and encourage forthright conversations about how to pursue one’s research, complete a dissertation, seek a job in or out of the academy, and more. The program aims especially to help early-career scholars make contacts beyond their home institutions, and to help those who do not have colleagues in Renaissance studies at their current place of employment. Mentor and mentee applications for the 2019–20 academic year cycle will be open until 1 July 2019. The RSA wishes to thank the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES) for inspiring our mentoring program. MentorsMid-career or senior scholars, as well as professionals from inside and outside the academy: professors, publishers, directors of institutes, administrators, etc. Mentors need not be members of the RSA. MenteesGraduate students who have completed coursework or post-graduates within five years of receipt of their terminal graduate degree (including PhD, MLS, MA, and JD). Mentees must be members of the RSA. How it works
How to participateMentors and mentees should submit an application (application link coming soon) by 1 July 2019. Scholars from underrepresented groups, such as scholars of color, LGBTQ+ scholars, scholars with disabilities, and others who wish to be matched with a Mentor or Mentee from the same group or with related experiences are welcome to express such a preference to the Mentoring Committee. The committee will attempt to make appropriate matches, or, if no match is available through our program, to connect Mentees with a subject-specific mentor through our program and also help the Mentee contact other programs capable of providing supplementary diversity mentoring.
