The AEJMC History Division is pleased to once again offer its mentorship program this year and we’re seeking participants. Prior mentors and mentees have found the program highly beneficial, with many choosing to continue their relationships informally after their year has ended. The program is very loosely structured. It’s up to the mentee and mentor to determine what works best for them.

If you’re looking for help with your teaching (ex: assignment ideas, classroom management tips, prepping a new class), research (ex: what journals/conferences to target, feedback on a potential journal/conference submission), or career (ex: tenure & promotion, searching for jobs, work/life balance), sign up as a mentee. Whether you’re a grad student, assistant professor, associate professor, or other, our division’s mentorship program is open to you.

The program also needs willing mentors at all levels to provide guidance and support to the mentees. 

To participate as a mentor or mentee, you must be a current member of the History Division or be willing to join the division when you renew your AEJMC membership.

To apply, please email your CV to program coordinator Lisa Burns at Lisa.Burns@quinnipiac.edu and complete this brief application by June 15 at 11:59 pm PT: https://forms.gle/tk48U3hpJqSmQDyn6. Pairings will be notified via email by July 15. The program officially kicks off in August at the AEJMC conference. Mentors/mentees attending the conference are encouraged to meet up at the History Division Gala or at another time that works for their schedules. The partnerships officially last through August 2026. If you have any questions, please email Lisa.Burns@quinnipiac.edu. You can also check out this Clio Q&A from March 2025 about the mentor program.
