54.022 - Early- and Mid-Career Mentoring for Equity-Focused Faculty: Insights From Senior Scholars on Navigating the Pathways of Academia

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

How should I establish and argue for social justice-focused, engaged scholarship in academia? Navigate complex issues of equity in the classroom? Manage sometimes undue service expectations? Decide whether administrative leadership is my next step? Senior scholar-administrators will share key insights about advancing research and leadership agendas that promote educational equity and enact social justice. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in roundtable dialogues with senior scholars to discuss ideas and needs in separate early career and mid-career mentoring conversations. This interactive session is part of an ongoing mentoring initiative to lend equity-oriented faculty in educational leadership, administration and/or organizations valuable mentorship opportunities outside of their academic institutions.
