19–21 August 2024, Hamburg, Germany
Application Deadline: 31 January 2024
Topic and Purpose
This workshop aims to support early career women* at both the doctoral and postdoctoral levels by providing academic and professional mentoring over the course of three days. In addition to providing practical professional and career advice, we will hold sessions in which young scholars will present works in progress and receive constructive feedback from established academics. To these ends, participants will be expected to submit pre-circulated works in progress (e.g., dissertation or book chapters, unpublished articles) before arriving in Hamburg.
Mentoring Team
This workshop will be convened by Sarah Wobick-Segev and Maria Wazinski and supported by the Maimonides Centre for Advanced Studies. Our team of academic mentors will include Christine Hayes (Yale University), Svetlana Natkovich (University of Haifa), Julie Klein (Villanova University), and Anna Schriefl (Universität Düsseldorf).
