The Political Theology Network hopes to continue its tradition of connecting underrepresented scholars, including women and racial minorities, with mentors in their field.

If you're interested in being assigned a mentor, please fill out the survey below. The Political Theology Network mentoring initiative is available to graduate students, contingent faculty members, and independent scholars from groups underrepresented in the field. After completing the survey, you will be matched with a junior or senior scholar who has agreed to chat with you via Zoom or Skype twice per semester. We've also strongly encouraged the mentors to arrange at least one virtual conversation with a member of their community outside of academia (e.g. clergy, organizer, artist), so you can connect with someone doing important work related to political theology in a non-university setting.

We understand political theology expansively, as a conversation that involves scholars engaging with different religious traditions, from different disciplinary perspectives, interested in connections between religious and political ideas and practices. For more information, please check out the Political Theology Network's "Points of Unity" here: https://politicaltheology.com/political-theology-network-points-of-unity/

Important note: Due to the high amount of applications we expect to receive, match with a mentor is not guaranteed. If we are unable to match you this year, however, we will give your application priority next year. We will also make sure to update you regularly with other Political Theology Network initiatives. We hope these exciting initiatives will provide even more opportunities for you to connect with other junior and senior scholars in your field.

Applications are due on October 15th.
