LGBT-MENTORS-APPLICATION

In 2002 the ASA Status of GLBT Persons in Sociology Committee issued its report on the professional experiences of GLBT people in the discipline.

• While graduate students reported a moderate degree of satisfaction with their graduate training and with the social and academic culture of their program, they also experienced a significant degree of academic and social isolation.
• Some graduate students reported a high degree of support for LGBT work but from a very limited number of faculty; others reported that LGBT work is belittled or marginalized in their graduate programs.
• Graduate students reported more support for LGBT work from fellow students than from faculty in their graduate departments.

In light of the reports’ findings, the Status Committee recommended the establishment of a cross-institution mentoring program for LGBT graduate students and junior faculty.

We are currently seeking LGBT and allied sociologists to serve as volunteer mentors.
