Call for Applications: MENA Mentoring Initiative

The program is an opportunity to receive feedback and comments from senior colleagues on a project-specific activity that is at an advanced stage of development. The mentoring duration will be between 3 and 6 months, depending on the activity and planned outcome.

The Mentoring Initiative is part of APSA’s MENA Program – a multi-year effort funded by Carnegie Corporation of New York (CCNY) to support political science research among early-career scholars in the Arab MENA region, and to strengthen research networks linking Arab scholars with their colleagues overseas.
