The Association of Adaptation Studies invites PhD students and ECR researchers working on any aspect of adaptation to participate in the mentoring workshop immediately preceding the 19th Annual Conference. It will take place on the afternoon of Tuesday, 4 June 2024 at the conference venue. Chaired by Trustees of the Association of Adaptation Studies, Prof. Thomas Leitch and Dr Christina Wilkins, this workshop will focus exclusively on your individual projects. The mentoring workshop is an initiative of the Association of Adaptation Studies designed to support emerging scholars in this expanding field. It will consist of short (15-minute) presentations of some aspect of your research project (foundational questions, progress to date, problems encountered, etc.), each followed by a longer discussion session. If you are selected for the workshop, you will be asked to submit the outline of your project/chapter/theoretical framework (up to 3 pages) so that it can be circulated among the participants beforehand. In order to ensure a focus on healthy and constructive criticism, no external participants will be admitted, and the group will make every effort to support the presenters. All workshop materials presented will remain confidential.
In order to apply, please fill out the application and submit it to Thomas Leitch (tleitch@udel.edu) no later than 9 March 2024. The selection of participants will be announced by 22 March 2024.
