[ecrea] IAMCR Emerging Scholars Mentorship Programme

Finding your way in academia can be confusing, overwhelming, and 
intimidating. How do you choose the right conference? The right journal? 
The right research project? And who can you ask for advice? ESN can help 
with the ESN Mentorship Programme. Members across the world can exchange 
ideas, perspectives, and research that enrich their own and others’ work.



The Mentorship Programme aims to connect emerging scholars with senior 
scholar mentors for guidance and assistance. As mentors, established 
scholars meet with a mentee at conferences and are available for basic 
feedback and advice via email throughout the year.



If you are interested in being a mentor or a mentee, please contact Dr 
Ruth Sanz-Sabido, ESN Mentorship Programme Coordinator, at 
(ruth.sanz-sabido /at/ canterbury.ac.uk) by 30 May 2014. Send a CV and/or bio 
and we will match you with someone whose research is similar to yours.



The ESN Mentorship Programme will match emerging scholars with mentors 
from IAMCR in order to:



    * Provide mentees with advice, guidance, and assistance at IAMCR 
and in their work
    * Develop research, publications, and participation in IAMCR and 
other academic communities
    * Exchange ideas, perspectives, and research
    * Meet informally at conferences and communicate periodically 
during the year

Mentoring is a great way to help out emerging scholars and to continue 
the international connections so valuable to IAMCR and to our academic 
community.
