As the year begins, so does conference season in many parts of the world (or does that never end?!). The RC07 Board brings you a mentoring panel that will discuss why people bother to go to conferences. What do they get out of them? Given that funding is scarce and many parts of the world struggle with visa barriers, how do you decide which conferences are worth the trouble and expense. Furthermore, what should you expect to gain from a conference? Experienced and senior scholars, Dr. Hasnaoui El Yasmine, American International University-Kuwait, and Dr. Amanda Gouws, Stellenbosch University, both RC07 Board members will open the conversation with their views. There will be time for discussion--register to join us! https://cutt.ly/rc070124

This session is intended especially for graduate students, Ph.D. candidates and junior faculty, so do let people know to come. It is hosted by RC07 but open to all.
