Following a very successful launch at HOPOS 2018, the HOPOS Mentoring Program will again be offered for HOPOS 2022, with Delphine Bellis (Université Paul Valéry - Montpellier) and Maarten Van Dyck (Ghent University) serving as program coordinators.

The chief objective of the HOPOS Mentoring Program is to help junior scholars receive constructive feedback on their papers from more senior HOPOS scholars. Ideally, each interested mentee will be matched with a mentor in her/his field of research, who will provide advice on how to turn the mentee's HOPOS conference paper into a writing sample for job applications and/or a paper to be submitted to a journal. Moreover, the HOPOS journal will offer swift review times and an accelerated publishing schedule for papers submitted from the HOPOS 2024 Mentoring Program. 

Participation in the HOPOS Mentoring Program is wholly voluntary, and the success of the program depends on the involvement of HOPOS scholars who are willing to spend time mentoring scholars that are more junior than them. The coordinators will make every effort to ensure that every interested mentee is paired up with a mentor.   However, there have traditionally been far more requests for mentorship than there are available mentors. Priority will be given to mentees from underrepresented groups in philosophy. Please note that even early-career scholars can mentor those that are more junior to them. Please consider mentoring even if you are a junior scholar yourself. Signup will be available through the confirmation-of-attendance form which those accepted to the conference will receive.
