New at the conference this year will be the launch of an FFS section mentoring program. The purpose is to encourage, create and support new feminist scholarship and participation in NCFR through strong mentoring relationships between an established member of the FFS section and a new conference attendee of the FFS section (defined as 1st or 2nd year attendee).  Prior to the conference, mentees will be matched with a mentor based on similar interests / career goals. Contact information will be provided to both the mentee and mentor with the suggestion that contact be made prior to the conference. During the conference, the mentorship pair will arrange to attend at least one session together and then discuss ideas related to the session afterwards.
