The Mentoring Continuum by Glenn Wright
Recent developments in academic mentoring have challenged long-standing conceptions of the mentor-mentee relationship as a top-down, wisdom-bestowing proposition. There is growing awareness that for the majority of their working lives, academics are both mentors and mentees, and have shifting needs and obligations as their careers progress. That is, they occupy a mentoring continuum whose navigation requires effort, reflection, and good faith. This book offers theoretical and practical tools to help them on their way and indicates how institutional resources can be mobilized in support.
Part of mentoring’s appeal lies in its ability to gesture in two directions at once: forward. . to new modalities and more egalitarian relationships, and backward, to a tradition of cross-generational support and identification as old as universities themselves, and that continues to feed the romance of the academic life in the minds of would-be faculty.
Glenn Wright is director of Graduate School Programs at Syracuse University, USA.
