The Doctor is In is a mentoring help desk open to all ASECS members,

writing job letters; managing a research agenda at a teaching institution;
matching your article to a suitable journal; interpreting readers’
comments after an article is returned and tackling a revision; writing an
book proposal for an edition, anthology, or monograph; finding the right
press for a book proposal; facing challenges presented to dual career
couples; addressing the needs and concerns of adjunct faculty and
independent scholars; getting your toes wet in Digital Humanities; and
thinking about your next book.

The Women's Caucus wants to help make our wonderful, huge conference more welcoming to new attendees. To that end, the registration table in Orlando will have optional buttons for conference-goers to wear. If you know the ropes and would be happy to help out those who don't, please take a violet one. If you're new and on the lookout for mentoring, please take a blue button ("blue is new"). We'll also have buttons at the Caucus Luncheon, supplies permitting.
