How does WILMA work?
More detailed information about how WILMA works is available if you click on the HowTo page. Briefly, WILMA is a self-service site through which women in linguistics can find a mentor or mentee for a one-on-one mentoring partnership, or join a group of people with similar concerns who agree to function as a co-mentoring or support group. You register by filling in a form on this site with information about your current professional status, professional needs and interests. Your information is posted to a list of registered mentees or mentors, like a professional version of an “X seeking Y” advertisement, with the exception that the postings will not be anonymous (names and affiliations are listed). You will also choose a password at this point (be sure to remember it, because you will need it to log in to the site in the future). Once you submit the questionnaire, you will have access to postings for the mentoring arrangement(s) you requested in your questionnaire.
