This session with the working title "Feminist mentoring for teacher-scholar-advocates" aims to

1) bring together those with interest in combining their teaching, research and activism/advocacy interests,

2) discuss what feminist mentoring looks like in practice in the classroom, our academic institutions, and outside of these, and

3) exchange and envision effective strategies for advancing our teaching, and academic and professional lives more generally, while conducting meaningful work (at a time when neoliberal institutions demand more and more of our labor and time for less and less in return).

All who are interested in presenting their mentoring success stories (and those who wanted, but lacked such mentoring at critical points in their careers) are welcome to participate.

Co-authored/co-produced (mentee-mentor) contributions as well as individually authored papers/presentations are welcome.
