Revisiting Mentorship - Strategies for BIPOC Early Career Faculty
Sponsor(s): Vice Provost for Faculty Advancement
Traditional didactic mentorship approaches rarely meet all the needs of early career BIPOC faculty. Using case studies, this workshop will explore scenarios such as challenging senior faculty, dealing with abusive behavior, and establishing boundaries. Participants will discuss how power relations in academia produce uneven dynamics including service workload imbalances, feelings of invisibility, and imposter syndrome. The workshop will offer suggestions for mitigating these challenges and outline strategic approaches for self-protection, perseverance, and balance.
