Mentoring Workshop

The SCP is running a pilot mentorship workshop at this meeting. The workshop will take place the morning of May 2 before the start of the conference. The mentors (a subset of the keynote speakers and organizers) will provide feedback and discussion on the work of 3-5 junior scholars. The workshop concludes with lunch and an advice Q&A panel that is open to all conference participants. Please note the following panel submission guidelines:

o   ‘Junior scholars’ refers to untenured scholars (including students).
