Applications open for our 8-month early career writing mentorship program! Society for the Anthropology of Work @saw-anthroofwork.bsky.social and Anthropology of Work Review @anthropologyofwork.bsky.social invite applications to the SAW Community of Writing Fellows. Deadline 15 August.

The Society for the Anthropology of Work and the Anthropology of Work Review invite applications to join the SAW Community of Writing Fellows, a new 8-month writing mentorship program running from September 2025 to April 2026.
We seek six early-career scholars and graduate students working on topics related to labour and work from anthropological perspectives and who seek to develop submissions for the Anthropology of Work Review. Our initiative is designed to especially support those who
may not have robust mentorship supports in their home institutions, and we strongly welcome applicants from equity-deserving groups.
You’ll engage in…
Monthly writing group meetings and peer feedback
A developmental editing workshop with Ideas on Fire
The opportunity to meet and learn from the AWR editorial collective
A community of practice (CoP) approach to writing focused on collaborative, supportive,
and rigorous writing development
Eligibility:
Current graduate student or early-career scholar (within five years of PhD)
Working on an article-length research manuscript related to the anthropology of work
Committed to attending monthly meetings and engaging in one peer review between meetings
To apply, please submit a short application of max 500 words describing (1) your project and
its fit with the anthropology of work, (2) your goals for writing and publishing, and (3) a brief note about your writing and mentoring needs.
Applications due August 15, 2025
to Jennifer Shaw , jeshaw@tru.ca
