Description of Session

Dissertation Mentorship Workshop

The New Scholars Committee invites conference participants to the Dissertation Mentorship Workshop, a session created to support advanced doctoral students as they move closer to completing their dissertations in comparative and international education. Participants whose dissertation projects have been submitted and selected in advance will engage in focused, one-on-one mentorship with experienced scholars who will provide feedback, encouragement, and guidance on strengthening their work. The workshop is designed to foster thoughtful exchange around dissertation development, writing, and revision while supporting new scholars through this important stage of their academic journey.
