Mentoring Across Perspectives in Research
In this workshop, participating faculty will explore how personal experiences, assumptions, and interpersonal dynamics can influence the mentor-mentee relationship. The session will emphasize strategies for building respectful, supportive, and effective mentoring relationships across all backgrounds and experiences.
Participants will engage in group discussions, case studies, and role-play exercises to practice mentoring approaches that foster open communication and mutual understanding. The workshop will also provide tools for navigating conversations with people with similar or dissimilar lived experiences in a way that supports academic and professional growth.
To prepare for the session, participants are required to complete a 40-minute online module designed to enhance self-awareness and readiness for reflective mentoring practice.
