Higher education’s aims, concepts, structures and practices are all in process of change.

Mentoring research

This qualitative interview study investigates how mentoring is used to develop knowledge and skills for early career academics across the academic roles of research, teaching, and service. Results indicate similar amounts of mentoring in research for men and women, more mentoring in teaching for women, and a lack of mentoring in service across gender. Methodological, theoretical, and practical implications for institutions of higher education are discussed, particularly those aimed at addressing inequality for women . Useful to reflect on your mentoring if doing a Senior Fellowship Application https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/1360144X.2017.1310105?journalCode= rija20
