Dear DAVID, The APA will host a “Mentoring the Mentors” workshop on Saturday, April 17, 2021. Kathryn Sophia Belle, Associate Professor of Philosophy and African American Studies at Penn State University, will facilitate the one-day virtual workshop. "Mentoring the Mentors" Saturday, April 17, 2021 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. ET Virtual This workshop is for faculty and graduate students who serve as mentors of undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing further study in philosophy, particularly those who mentor undergraduates from underrepresented minority groups. The workshop aims to support mentors as they guide their students through academic philosophy and potentially on to graduate school in philosophy. Past workshops have included information on how to prepare a graduate school application, how to set healthy boundaries in a mentor/mentee relationship, and how to address the challenges unique to students from underrepresented identities in philosophy. Originally designed to support mentors of students who attend undergraduate diversity institutes in philosophy, “Mentoring the Mentors” spends some time specifically addressing how to support students of color, women, LGBTQ+ students, students with disabilities, and other students from underrepresented identities in philosophy. “Mentoring the Mentors” is generously funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. To apply, please fill out the application form no later than March 5, 2021, with information about your mentorship experiences and hopes for the workshop. Selected participants will be notified no later than March 22, 2021. If this workshop is not the right fit for you but you know others who might be interested, please encourage them to apply! Please direct any questions about the event to APA Program Assistant Lucy Pawliczek at lucypawliczek@apaonline.org. All the best, Amy Ferrer Executive Director |
