CSWEP Mentoring and Networks


CeMENT Mentoring Workshops

Growing out of the first CCOFFE Workshop in 1998 and offered annually since 2015, the success of the CeMENT Mentoring Workshops in promoting the careers of young economists has been rigorously documented. In addition to professional knowledge, participants typically emerge with a network of peers and senior mentors. The CeMENT Workshop for Faculty in Doctoral Programs (formerly called the National Workshop) targets women and non-binary faculty in departments with PhD programs where research accomplishments carry heavy weight in promotion. The CeMENT Workshop for Faculty in Non-Doctoral Programs (formerly called the Regional Workshop) targets women and non-binary faculty in departments where teaching receives more weight. The common application portal opens every year on July 1. 

Mid-Career Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Mentoring Program

CSWEP's Mid-Career P2P Mentoring Program aims to help mid-career economists find community, support, and mentoring. Participants will form small groups of economists at a similar career stage or with similar concerns. CSWEP will provide a suggested “curriculum” and supplemental materials, covering topics like goal setting, time management, planning for promotion, and managing service.

Summer Economics Fellows Program  

This fellowship program is available to senior graduate students and junior faculty, who spend a summer in residence at a sponsoring research institution. Sponsored by the American Economic Association and initiated by a National Science Foundation grant, the Summer Economics Fellows Program is designed to increase the participation and advancement of women and underrepresented minorities in economics.

Liaison Network

CSWEP seeks liaisons from economics departments and non-academia to help increase awareness among economists about the work of CSWEP, to expand the distribution of CSWEP opportunities, and to streamline the yearly collection of departmental gender data for the CSWEP survey. View our list of liaisons and learn how to volunteer to serve.
