Thriving In Higher Education - Uncovering Institutional Counter-Stories Through Abolitionist Feminist Mentoring

~~66,25€~~ 59,63€ 10% OFF

 Thriving in Higher Education: Uncovering Institutional Counter-Stories Through Abolitionist Feminist Mentoring shares personal narratives that highlight the critical role of mentoring in academic success-especially for women and people of color on the tenure track. Institutions often use mechanisms of control to shame those who challenge hegemonic norms and expectations. These shaming practices serve to silence and isolate victims, contributing to the hidden and ongoing nature of these mechanisms. In this book, scholars share experiences of microaggressions, racial battle fatigue, and institutional retaliation, revealing the hidden costs of advocating for justice and truth within academia.These nineteen chapters, authored by multidisciplinary educators some in collaboration with their mentors or mentees serve as both guidebooks and cautionary tales necessary to navigate the potential perils of higher education through mentoring relationships. These brave counter-stories present tales of joy, resistance and solidarity for scholars deemed outsiders, troublemakers, boat-rockers, critical scholars, truth tellers, and the like.While the work of dismantling institutional oppression is often costly bringing stress, fear, and even trauma this book stands as a beacon of hope. It offers readers not only validation and solidarity, but also practical strategies for building empowering mentoring relationships rooted in care, resistance, and community. Thriving in Higher Education is both a call to action and a testament to the resilience of those who dare to thrive in spaces not built for them.

Mentoring For Wellbeing In Higher Education

~~66,25€~~ 59,63€ 10% OFF

 This volume of the Perspectives on Mentoring Series focuses on the connections between mentoring and wellbeing in organizational cultures within higher education institutions. Increasing competition, societal pressures, and the changing nature of the cultures within the United States and Canada, the countries represented in this volume's chapters, have created complex personal, social, and institutional problems that have negatively affected the wellbeing of individuals, and subsequently institutional success. As a result, higher education institutions need to become more actively engaged in creating initiatives, programs, activities, and organizational cultures that support the wellbeing of students, faculty, staff, and administrators. The notion of wellbeing, in general, includes both hedonic aspects of feeling good (positive emotions) and eudemonic (conducive to happiness) aspects of living well that entail experiences of positive relationships, meaningfulness in life and work, senses of mastery and personal growth, autonomy, and achievement. This book proposes that one of the key avenues for fostering wellbeing in institutions of higher education is through mentoring. However, the research on the positive impact that mentoring can have on the mental health and wellbeing of both the mentor and mentee in higher education is fairly limited.This edited volume expands and adds to the existing literature on mentoring in higher education, by offering a collection of works that examine the connection between mentorship and wellbeing in relation to potential students, undergraduate and graduate students, and faculty and leaders. Of particular interest for this edited volume is how mentoring can promote mental health, build resilience, and develop capacity to maintain and sustain emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing for all in the higher education settings. Chapters in this volume describe mentoring of emerging adults and students through positive relationships, illustrate the impact of peer mentoring, mindfulness, resilience-growing, capacity building, and leadership development initiatives on undergraduate students, detail positive and effective mentoring strategies to growing wellbeing and thriving of graduate students, and discuss studies and models for nurturing and promoting wellbeing among faculty and leaders in higher education institutions. Through their chapters, authors present stories and perspectives regarding higher education endeavors or research studies to foster a greater understanding of how mentoring can enhance the wellbeing of varied constituencies in higher education. In addition, there are common themes about fostering wellbeing in higher education institutions that permeate these hapters, provide ideas for reflection, and create a body of knowledge and new avenues for future research and study.

Mentoring For The Professions - Orienting Toward The Future

66,25€ + 10% CARD

 This edited volume brings together conceptual and empirical work from various professional fields to inform a perspective on mentoring that goes beyond what is needed for today and orients toward what is needed for the future in order to promote healthy and productive organizations. This perspective is important because the pace of change in organizations is rapid--and increasingly so. Under conditions of rapid and on-going change, employees, students, and colleagues all are learners; and the learning needs of these adults demand meaningful and focused strategies for professional development. A major strategy with demonstrated value for fostering learning among adults is mentoring, which contributes both relational and structural support for such learning. This support helps organizations build communities of practice in which colleagues alternate the role of mentor and mentee by sharing different types of expertise and different perspectives on organizational challenges.Chapters within the book focus on theoretical perspectives on mentoring, the connection between change and mentoring, the character of the leadership that mentoring entails, the developmental processes that mentees experience, the transformation of the mentee as a result of mentoring, the value of matching mentor and mentee styles, and the role of mentoring in organizational team building. Furthermore, some chapters explore the similarities and differences in individual versus group mentoring. And some of the contributions elaborate linkages among mentoring concepts and those used in related practices such as coaching and distributed leadership.

Uncovering The Cultural Dynamics In Mentoring Programs And Relationships - Enhancing Practice And Research

66,25€ + 10% CARD

 Although cultural issues have a powerful influence on the failure and success of mentoring programs and relationships, there is scant research on this area and little in the way of guidelines that practitioners can use to help assure mentoring success. This book seeks to expand our knowledge and understanding of this topic and to foster the use of this information to enhance practice and research.The book is unique in a number of ways and will be an important resource for all those engaged in mentoring endeavors and for those conducting research in this area.

Secondly, the chapters describe mentoring from an international perspective including programs from Africa, Australia, Canada, Finland, India, Ireland, Korea, Scotland, Sweden and the United States. Third, the book is research based and yet, can be easily applied to practice. Chapters provide information on lessons learned and also include reflective questions to enable the reader to delve more deeply into the constructs and findings in order to apply them to their own practice and research. This makes the book an ideal resource for training mentors and mentees, for designing mentoring programs, for teaching about mentoring, and for establishing and maintaining mentoring relationships. It also will be of value to those who are engaged in conducting research on how to create and maintain successful mentoring relationships and programs.

59,63€ + 10% CARD

 Mentoring in educational contexts has become a rapidly growing field of study, both in the United States and internationally (Fletcher & Mullen, 2012).

How do we know that mentoring works? In this age of accountability, the time is ripe for substantiating evidence through empirical research, what mentoring processes, forms, and strategies lead to more effective teachers and administrators within P-12 contexts.This book is the sixth in the Mentoring Perspectives Series, edited by Dr. Frances Kochan former Dean of the College of Education at Auburn University.
