Graduate Student Mentoring Program

Call for section members to volunteer their time and expertise to mentor Ph.D. students in the study of religion and politics! Mentees must be Religion and Politics Section members to be eligible for the program.

Mentors and mentees make arrangements to develop a mentoring relationship with assistance from the program coordinator. Mentees looking for more general career assistance will be shepherded to the APSA mentoring program by the coordinator. All mentoring relationships are at will. Agreements concerning relationship duration, mentoring emphasis, and contact frequency are the sole responsibility of the mentor and mentee.

Coordinator is available as a reference for any questions, and will keep track of mentor/mentee relationships. Coordinator is NOT a mediator for conflicts arising between mentors and mentees.

Mentoring program will be sponsoring mixers at Midwest and APSA (through the generous assistance of Notre Dame’s Rooney Center).

We need mentors to cover all sub-fields and methodological approaches. To volunteer as a mentor, please email Brian Calfano or call 417.836.8574.
