<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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?

And, of course, all the women who have made themselves available as mentors despite everything else they have to do.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">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. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
