• In Event: 52.042 - Minoritized in the Academy

Abstract

This qualitative study examines mentoring experiences of Black women senior scholars who served as mentors in an early career professional development program. Preliminary findings suggest the role intersectionality (i.e., race and gender) plays in shaping motivations for mentoring, benefits of mentoring, and the dimensions of their mentoring process.
