Neurodivergent Humanities Network: Application for Mentees
This mentorship scheme will build a foundation of information sharing between scholars at different career stages. The ethos of mentorship will be as anti-hierarchical as possible; this would mean that while the more senior academic can give insight into the workings of the academy, the mentoring programme should be a generative space for thinking through how we can make the humanities more enabling. We recognise that the precarious nature of academic employment might make early-career scholars anxious about exploring new methods if they felt that their work may not be valued as highly if presented in an alternative medium. As such, our mentorship programme will support this innovation and encourage collaboration between career stages to help to establish the junior scholar. We hope to offer a space for mentors and mentees to explore and develop inclusive, accessible methods and modes of co-production that are personally meaningful to both; collaboration can take the form of traditional academic scholarship (e.g. journal articles, conference panels, edited collections, etc.) or less traditional ones (e.g. podcasts, videos, etc.).

* Confidentiality Statement: All responses will be read only by the co-leaders of the Neurodivergent Humanities Network, solely for the purposes of selecting and matching mentees and mentors. Responses will be handled with care and sensitivity, and will not circulate beyond this team.

Applications will close at 5pm GMT on 2nd June 2023.
