with Michelle M. Camacho and Anne Taylor
March 11, 2021
Traditional didactic mentorship approaches rarely meet all the needs of early career BIPOC faculty. Using case studies, this workshop explored scenarios such as challenging senior faculty, dealing with abusive behavior, and establishing boundaries. Participants discussed how power relations in academia produce uneven dynamics including service workload imbalances, feelings of invisibility, and imposter syndrome. The workshop offered suggestions for mitigating these challenges and outlined strategic approaches for self-protection, perseverance, and balance. The session was co-facilitated by:
Michelle M. Camacho, Professor of Sociology, University of San Diego and co-editor of Mentoring Faculty of Color
Anne Taylor, Senior Vice President for Faculty Affairs and Career Development, Vice Dean for Academic Affairs, and John Lindenbaum Professor of Medicine, Columbia University and co-author of Faculty Success through Mentoring: A Guide for Mentors, Mentees, and Leaders.
