STORIES OF MENTORING: THEORY AND PRAXIS defines the current status
of mentoring in the field of composition and rhetoric by providing
both snapshots and candid descriptions of what that mentoring means
to those working in the discipline. Seventy-eight Contributors
offer a wide array of evidence and illustrations in an effort to
define what mentoring entails, its important benefits and
consequences, and its role in creating the future character of the
field. Readers will find program descriptions and critiques,
testimonials and personal anecdotes, copies of correspondence and
e-mail messages, term projects and assignments, accounts of forged
friendships and peer relationships (some good, some not-so-good),
both new paradigms and familiar constructs for successful
mentoring, tales of pregnancy and mothering, chronicles of both
administrative nightmares and dream solutions, and inspiring
stories revealing the character of those rare individuals who
embody the term mentor. LYNEE LEWIS GAILLET is associate professor
