Dear fellow CSAAers ,

just a brief note to add to the conversation that having been a CSAA mentor several times in the past I can attest to what a terrific experience it is to meet with emerging cultural studies practitioners.

It is a great initiative, and I heartily recommend anyone to consider taking it on.

best wishes

Baden

Dear Catherine and all,

Thank you for raising this important point (and Anna and Andrew for your echoing comments). The imbalance certainly struck me too and I should have made the same call for more men to put up their hands. Two men (three, but I didn?t want to list myself before) and ten women simply isn?t a just distribution of labour.

To that end, I would very much welcome more men in CSAA who?d like to sign on as mentors. Please do email me directly if you?re willing and I?ll gladly add you to the list.

Best,
Michael

Thanks for this news, Michael. I will certainly be recommending the scheme to postgrads and ECRs.

Can I note, however, how overwhelmingly the people who have volunteered their time for this scheme are women? Come on, men-who-are-my-peers? what?s up with this?

I hope that if at least a couple of the men are prepared to put their hand up we might get an updated list so we can credit them as we right now should credit Andrew Hickey and Rob Garbutt for being exceptions. And, of course, all the women who have made themselves available as mentors despite everything else they have to do.

All the best,
Catherine

Subject: [csaa-forum] CSAA 2019 Mentorship Scheme: Call for Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The CSAA is now calling for applicants for its Mentorship Scheme for 2019.

I?m thrilled to report that we have had a remarkable response from established colleagues who are willing to mentor. My sincere thanks on behalf of the CSAA Exec to Lisa Slater, Andrew Hickey, Holly Randell-Moon, Michelle Phillipov, Amanda Third, Anna Hickey-Moody, Elspeth Probyn, Tanja Dreher, Amy Dobson, Rob Garbutt, Catherine Driscoll and Angi Buettner. All mentors have significant and varied demands on their time, so it speaks to their commitment to our scholarly community that they would make time to support emerging scholars. There is a wealth of experience and knowledge in the group and I?ve no doubt each will be able to offer much wisdom and support to whoever they are paired with.

The Mentoring Scheme is designed to provide professional guidance and support to CSAA members who are early career academics, independent scholars, in non-continuing positions, or regional locations. Applicants should already have their PhD, although if you have submitted and are awaiting you may also apply.

Successful applicants will be matched with a senior colleague, with whom they will have approximately 6 mentoring meetings over the course of the year. Meetings can take place in person or via phone, skype or email, as mutually convenient.

If you would like to participate in this scheme and be mentored by an amazing cultural studies scholar, please send an application of no more than one page containing the following information:

1.       Brief details of your research background and current circumstances
2.       Your goals for the next twelve months
3.       What support you are seeking from the scheme: ie, advice on publishing, job applications, grant writing etc.

Please note applicants must be members of the CSAA (see http://www.csaa.asn.au/join/index.shtml<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1gZ5QOCgG2gNCjirl2CovNaVbflFm8CljIR3KYTpUua0tkGmEhO2CLIQAUdAiuIe9ys-wfnCeayjagWuHm3oMosDnKrnrdPYK_7JHpZDhVUw5D__JcXq1D6FLzDUvvFkxTsohSzYBF23YqL4Y47g8u2_q9SlY_QBgNc8FJuXcp9mHcix3gsnV_OZEiI4iA_oOdLWMh6t2OzbNSvXe6PCRV5-0u0eX5ja9fxmKgv77vvRQrNNx9cMU2OmrATPqZsRKkpQzCpbJKVn9Xn4Ls_nju_lAGuJOjFna5DcFm8B_VKxkyWXejaaIa__Zl5kiHsfVytAmIdOK4huGvf99P7HfLtM8dHUbud9gyuAkeeB9JcxpGVmMp7xTBT6WbbdG7Ux403QOXkE5cXHAjtkYdeVHq2kO8p7XCq37hS3fm96QTMdFfsj_9kr16_JMaDzWof_Ws_RjgXsNfdAQIAjDRF4nwjAqpmxpgX69SUQPL7lUNLjKQ1CuTAVWv7aIXcNeF83PQll7vE8cf7fKNq7_M3VfCQ/https%3A%2F%2Fprotect-au.mimecast.com%2Fs%2FMZksCoVzGQiAKvKgu1tk3Z%3Fdomain%3Dcsaa.asn.au>).
