Mentorship Program

The Society for Text and Discourse is proud to once again offer our Mentorship Program for advanced graduate students (within 1-2 years of graduation), postdoctoral researchers (in their first 3 years post-graduation), and junior faculty (in their first 3 years as a faculty member). This program supports career development and provides networking opportunities. Mentees will be paired with a mid-career or senior scholar and have the opportunity to discuss scholarship, handling new roles, finding an academic position, and/or navigating tenure, funding, teaching, and more. Individuals who are accepted into the ST&D mentorship program will be invited to attend a catered lunch with their mentors at the 2025 ST&D Annual Meeting. 

Applicants must be ST&D members at the time of submission, and must be received by May 31st. Applications require a  brief statement of professional goals, and 1-3 writing samples.
