by Language Development, BU Conference on 21 Apr '24

21 Apr '24

Hello all, We are excited to participate again this year in the LSA Committee on Gender Equity in Linguistics (COGEL) Pop-up Mentoring Program. All BUCLD 49 attendees are welcome to join! Sign up before Thursday, October 31, 2024, 11:59 PM (EDT, UTC-4). More information: BUCLD 49 is proud to host a Pop-Up Mentoring Program<http://genderinlinguistics.org/pump> (PUMP) event. PUMP (sponsored by the LSA Committee on Gender Equity<http://genderinlinguistics.org/>) provides on-site, one-off mentoring meetings at linguistics conferences around the world. PUMP matches one or more mentees with mentors who can provide quick but personalized career advice to linguists at any stage, in any location, and in any career: anyone can be a mentee or mentor, the more the merrier. You can register as a mentee here<https://forms.gle/c6H69QEskm1ePD7JA>, and as a mentor here<https://forms.gle/avaCdAWcjwSJfxQD6>. We almost always have a lot of mentee interest so we especially encourage participants to apply as mentors if they think they can. Anyone can be a mentor! PhD students can mentor MA students, postdocs can be a wonderful resource for senior grad students, Assistant professors can mentor postdocs, and so on. We keep career stage and interests in mind when matching mentors and mentees. The deadline for registering as a mentee or a mentor for this event is Thursday, October 31, 2024, 11:59 PM (EDT, UTC-4). After you register, you will receive an email matching you with your mentor or mentee, with details about how to meet. Please email langconf(a)bu.edu<mailto:langconf@bu.edu> with any questions about the PUMP event. PUMP@BUCLD 49 is scheduled on Saturday, November 9, 2024, 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM (EDT, UTC -4). Alternatively, matched participants are welcome to agree on a different time to meet. Looking forward to seeing you at the event! Aditya Yedetore BUCLD 49 Co-Organizer
