Session Type: Symposium
This symposium brings together women from a global virtual informal mentoring network. Through engagement in this non-traditional mentoring network, its members have constructed knowledge in various discourses of mentoring women to ensure equity in professional spaces. Each paper unpacks perceptions of truth within the context of academic institutions among women from diverse backgrounds including their lived experiences as they aspire to thrive as leaders in the field. Through qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods, the C-Y-F- members re-examine established institutional practices throughout the theme of disrupting assumed truths. These papers contribute to existing theories and methodologies on mentoring women in leadership and learning, their perceptions, experiences, and practices on what is “truth” and who decides?
