Mentorship Program

ALLA’s 1: 1 Mentoring Program aims to foster a more supportive community among faculty and students from different academic institutions. This program connects emerging scholars with leading anthropologists in the field. Faculty and junior scholars are paired based on research interests, geographical region, and subfield. Faculty mentors and mentees will meet each other via Zoom in September to set the basis for continued communication between mentors and their students.

The Program is:

  • Open to graduate students at any stage and postdocs
  • Free to join (no AAA membership required)
  • Independent of AAA Annual Meeting attendance
