SIG Mentoring Program
One of the key initiatives of the SIG is to nurture Early Career Academics (ECA) through an ongoing mentoring program. The most common聽need identified by our mentees is academic publishing. Over the past a few years, a聽strong聽cohort of ECAs have benefited from our mentoring program. In 2023/24, for example, Dr Lei Jiang, mentored by Associate Professor Michael Mu,聽had a manuscript on Asian American multilingual learners' college access accepted by the Journal of Language, Identity, and Education. Other mentees have been further developing and consolidating聽their work-in-progress with the support of their mentors. We will continue to celebrate their success.
