Online Program
Registration
The registration page will become available in April of 2025. There will be discounted rates for students and for early registration.
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 2024 ST&D Annual Meeting.
Applicants must be ST&D members at the time of submission, and applications will be invited once the program is announced. Applications require a brief statement of professional goals, and 1-3 writing samples.
Questions regarding the Mentorship program or the application form should be directed to Anne Helder (Mentorship Committee Chair) at a.helder@fsw.leidenuniv.nl
