  In Roundtable Session: Mentoring Pathways in Higher Education

Abstract

Minority women have many mentoring engagements. However, there is a dearth of literature on how minority women mentor others. In the spirit of the AERA 2020 conference theme’s focus on “The Power and Possibilities for the Public Good When Researchers and Organizational Stakeholders Collaborate”, this paper seeks to fill the gap on how and why minority women engage in specific type of mentoring as explained by extant mentoring theories (traditional, relational, and holding behaviors). Thus, the paper offers unique insights into the approaches that minority women utilize to develop and advance their mentees, especially as they relate to challenges of racism and sexism.
