While mentorship has been shown to be critical in helping graduate
students persist and complete their studies, and enter upon and
succeed in their academic careers, the under-representation of
faculty of color and women in higher education greatly reduces the
opportunities for graduate students from these selfsame groups to
find mentors of their race, ethnicity or gender. Recognizing that
mentoring across gender, race and ethnicity inserts levels of
complexity to this important process, this book both fills a major
gap in the literature and provides an in-depth look at successful
mentorships between senior white and under-represented scholars and
emerging women scholars and scholars of color. Following a
comprehensive review of the literature, this book presents chapters
written by scholars who share in-depth descriptions of their
cross-gender and/or cross-race/ethnicity mentoring relationships.
Each article is co-authored by mentors who are established senior
scholars and their former protégés with whom they have continuing
collegial relationships. Their descriptions provide rich insights
into the importance of these relationships, and for developing the
academic pipeline for women scholars and scholars of color. Drawing
on a comparative analysis of the literature and of the narrative
chapters, the editors conclude by identifying the key
characteristics and pathways for developing successful mentoring
relationships across race, ethnicity or gender, and by offering
recommendations for institutional policy and individual mentoring
practice. For administrators and faculty concerned about diversity
in graduate programs and academic departments, they offer clear
models of how to nurture the productive scholars and teachers
needed for tomorrow’s demographic of students; for
under-represented students, they offer compelling narratives about
the rewards and challenges of good mentorship to inform their
expectations and the relationships they will develop as protégés.
