[ecrea] IAMCR ESN Mentorship - Mentors needed

The IAMCR Emerging Scholars 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.

Following a previous call, we have received a large amount of 
applications from mentees but we need more mentors in order to find 
matches for our mentees, particularly in the following areas:

-Strategic communication, including marketing communication
-Health communication
-Bollywood film practice and theory
-Nigerian traditional print media

If you think you could spare some time at conferences and respond to a 
handful of emails throughout the year, then please consider signing up 
as a mentor. You can sign up by sending a quick email with your CV and 
research interests to (sylviab /at/ sfu.ca)

Thank you to those who have already volunteered to mentor a promising 
emerging scholar! I sincerely hope this will be a meaningful experience 
for you.

You can find more details on the program below.

Best wishes,

Finding your way in academia can be confusing, overwhelming, and 
intimidating. Mentees are PhD candidates and early career researchers 
who apply to this Programme seeking advice on their research and 
research activities from established scholars who specialize in their 
research topics.
The ESN Mentorship Programme will match emerging scholars with mentors 
from IAMCR in order to:
i.	Provide mentees with advice, guidance, and assistance at IAMCR and in 
their work
ii.	Develop research, publications, and participation in IAMCR and other 
academic communities
iii.	Exchange ideas, perspectives, and research
iv.	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.
  For Mentors:
  Do you have 30 minutes to spare at IAMCR conferences? Could you 
respond to a handful of emails throughout the year?   Then please sign 
up now to become part of the ESN Mentorship Programme. Just send a 
CV/bio to (ruth.sanz-sabido /at/ canterbury.ac.uk).
  Mentor commitments:
• Meet with mentee at IAMCR conferences
• Communicate periodically during the year
• Provide advice and feedback on conference, publication, and research plans
  If you are interested in being a mentor, please contact Sylvia Blake, 
ESN Mentorship Programme Coordinator at (sylviab /at/ sfu.ca). Please send a 
brief biographical note including your name, affiliation and research 
interests.
