An Emerging Global Research Agenda on Mentoring

• In Event: Cross-Cultural and Global Perspectives on Mentoring: An Emerging Agenda

Abstract

Abstract

This Roundtable is an opportunity for professionals to join a new social network in conceptualizing and installing a global research agenda on Mentoring. Participants who have been part of the initiative begun during the 2011 AERA-wide Symposium on Mentoring will report on progress, invite input from new participants, and examine steps to take to sustain and extend the professional dialogue. Panelists and audience members will exchange ideas across 5 areas: Foundations of Mentoring, Best Practices, Policies and Politics, Cultural Aspects, and Innovation and the Virtual/Digital Age. Borrowing from work of Capra (2002), the webs of relationships that result must be viewed as a living, generative system based on such principles as diversity, interdependency, co-evolution and sustainability.
