At this year’s ASA meeting, the Comparative Historical and Global & Transnational sections are teaming up once again to host a Graduate Student and Postdoc Mentoring Event. The event will take place remotely on Friday, August 6 from 3-5pm EDT (2-4pm CDT). This event is designed as a space for graduate students and postdocs to connect with faculty who share similar research interests. Participants gather in small groups during the event with the goal to strengthen the sections’ intellectual networks and further professional development for students. Following last year’s virtual format, topical groups will gather on Zoom and then mentoring groups will enter into breakout rooms. If you would like to participate, please register with this form by Friday, July 23 so that the organizing team (Berfu Aygenc, Amanda Ball, Mary Shi, Anna Wozny, and Andrea Zhu) can start planning mentorship groups based on interest areas.
