Description
"For anyone working in higher education this book offers great tips and advice on how to use mentoring on a practical level... For educational purposes, this book would be a very useful teaching resource for lecturers in education, but also as guidance to any students studying at undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral level to understand how they can engage with mentoring to enhance their personal learning journeys."—Dr Mel Bull, University of Sheffield, UK
"It is refreshing to recognise such a diversity of contexts, practices and approaches to mentoring relationships and the centrality of these to our work as educational professionals... This international collection is critical to understanding how we can all play a role in mentoring to liberate and educate."—Dr Christine Lewis, Edge Hill University, UK
This book explores the role and importance of mentoring as a form of collaborative learning in higher education. While mentoring has become increasingly popular, the definition itself can remain broad and potentially nebulous, and could be applied to a variety of endeavours. The chapters engage with case studies and empirical research from across the globe that respond to concerns raised within a range of cross-disciplinary fields, providing important clarity as to the role of mentoring within higher education. Offering clarity and precision as well as robust qualitative data, this book will be of interest and value to scholars of mentoring in higher education as well as those engaged in mentoring themselves.
