New Scholars Community

The New Scholars community is a sub-group of NiCHE composed of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and recent PhD graduates. The group is informal, arranging a number of digital meetings throughout the year, profiling new and emerging scholars, sharing resources, and providing a network of support and common interest. The New Scholars representative coordinates the community’s activities and advises the NiCHE executive on new scholar issues. The current representative is Amrita DasGupta, a PhD candidate at the Centre of Gender Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. If you’re interested in getting involved with this group, have an idea for a project, or want to learn more, you can contact Amrita. You can also follow the New Scholars Twitter account to be updated on future New Scholars events or any publications, research, scholarships, or events that may be of interest to the community.
