One of the key initiatives of the SIG is to nurture Early Career Academics (ECA) through an ongoing mentoring program. The most common need identified by our mentees is academic publishing. Over the past a few years, a strong cohort of ECAs have benefited from our mentoring program. In 2023/24, for example, Dr Lei Jiang, mentored by Associate Professor Michael Mu, had a manuscript on Asian American multilingual learners' college access accepted by the Journal of Language, Identity, and Education. Other mentees have been further developing and consolidating their work-in-progress with the support of their mentors. We will continue to celebrate their success.
