Mentoring

The presence of a large number of international experts in social policy creates a special opportunity for junior researchers and graduate students to present their research for discussion. As part of the conference design, we will organize special mentoring sessions to match new researchers with senior scholars working in related areas. PhD candidates are invited to submit papers for these dedicated sessions but can apply for the regular sessions as well. Doctoral students may chose to submit their contribution to the regular conference sessions or participate in the mentoring program which includes separate sessions for doctoral students in the conference program. The sessions will follow "Korpi's rules" with mentors acting as discussants. The mentoring program is open for students who have begun the research for their dissertation (i.e. are not still at the stage of planning it) and who will not have submitted it for examination by the time of the conference. The mentoring program is co-ordinated by Sheila Shaver.
