Call for Mentees/Mentors: \; 7th Biennial Mentoring Workshop for Early Career Women* in Philosophy \;
\nWe are delighted to announce that the 7th Biennial Mentoring Workshop \;for Early Career Women* in Philosophy will be held June 4-6\, 2025\, at Washington University in St Louis\, Missouri. \; Our Keynote Speaker this year will be Teresa Blankmeyer Burke of Gallaudet University. \; The Mentoring Workshop is supported by the generosity of the Mark Sanders Foundation. \; \;
\n* \;While we retain the historic title for this workshop\, the co-directors would like to emphasize that its goal \;is to provide mentorship to philosophers who might have had difficulty finding it in virtue of their gender. \;Given the demographics of the field\, this includes philosophers from one or more of the following groups: women\, nonbinary people\, and trans* \;people. \;
\nThis workshop seeks to address the ongoing underrepresentation of women\, non-binary people\, and trans* people in professional philosophy by building long-term mentoring relationships among senior and junior colleagues from these groups. \; Any woman\, nonbinary person\, or trans* person entering or holding a faculty (pre-tenure or contract) or postdoc position in Philosophy at a college or university is eligible to apply. \;Because the workshop is aimed specifically at those who are navigating academic life after their PhD\, we require that applicants have successfully defended by the date of their application. \;Members of groups underrepresented in Philosophy are especially encouraged to apply. \; Details for how to apply are available at our website: https://marcsandersfoundation.org/the-mentoring-workshop/. THE EXTENDED APPLICAION DEADLINE IS January 15\, 2025. \;
\nThere is no charge for participation in the workshop\, but mentees&rsquo\; home \;institutions are expected to cover the cost of their transportation\, room\, and board. \; We recognize and deeply regret if the cost of attending the workshop is prohibitive. \; While the Mentoring Workshop operates on a limited budget\, we invite those without adequate institutional support to contact us directly\, so that we can offer support and advice as best we are able. \;
\nWe would like to invite senior scholars interested in serving as mentors for the Mentoring Workshop to identify themselves by signing up on our website: \;https://marcsandersfoundation.org/the-mentoring-workshop/
\nWe also invite securely employed and established scholars to consider supporting the important work of the Mentoring Workshop by making a donation. \; These funds will be directed towards our effort to lower costs for attendees as much as possible &ndash\; a crucial consideration\, given the precarity of many junior colleagues in these difficult times. \; Donations can be made through the Marc Sanders foundation here: \;https://marcsandersfoundation.org/the-mentoring-workshop/ \; \;
\nPlease don&rsquo\;t hesitate to reach out to any of the four co-directors (emails \;listed below) should you have any questions regarding the workshop. \;
