“…Although the concept of mentoring has formally existed in some form since the early days of Greek and Roman education (Colley, 2002;Osipov et al, 2019;Roberts, 2000), its use in modern education systems can be traced to the early 1900s. Irby and Boswell (2016) observed how conversations around the term mentoring transitioned from social settings into school cultures (i.e., the founding of Junior Achievement). Over time, educational research has advanced expectations of mentoring to produce favorable outcomes (see Figueroa & Rodriguez, 2015;Luedke, 2017).…”

Mentoring initiatives for undergraduate and graduate women of color (WOC) have provided peer-to-peer relationships and counterspaces to disrupt the inequitable treatment of students in STEM higher education (HE). This literature synthesis explores intersectionality in STEM HE mentoring through pursuing the following research questions: (1) What impact do the social contexts of WOC have on their mentoring experiences in STEM HE? (2) What role does intersectionality play in the structural organization of WOC mentoring models in STEM HE? (3) How has intersectionality shaped the life experiences of WOC mentors and mentees? and (4) How can mentoring models utilize intersectionality to incorporate the experiences of WOC in STEM HE? Thematic findings from literature related to STEM HE mentoring suggest a reinforcement of deficit mentoring models (Fix the URM), a symbolic application of intersectionality (branding gender–race), and a lack of paradigmatic shifts (catch-all). Our specific recommendations presented in this article challenge the epistemic oppression and epistemic violence that current STEM HE mentoring models operationalize.

“…Although researchers purport similar conceptual definitions of mentoring, individuals often define mentoring in more varied terms. Irby and Boswell (2016) trace the evolution of the term "mentor" from its first use in Homer's Odyssey to its printed debut in the eighteenth century to its first appearance in an educational mentoring paper, written by Bradley and Adamson, in 1973. The authors describe 1980 as a pivotal year in the field of mentoring research, noting that the term had now become "part of the language" (Irby and Boswell, 2016, p. 2).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to narrate authors’ personal and professional experiences as doctoral graduate students, highlighting the personal and academic growth fostered through an organic peer mentorship and advocating that these relationships be cultivated actively by faculty advisors. Design/methodology/approach The concepts of purpose, planning, and positivity are employed to organize the discussion, which is based on relevant literature and the authors’ lived experiences. Findings Like most students who pursue and complete doctoral degrees, the authors experienced transformative learning. The authors acknowledge myriad ways their informal peer mentoring relationship was a critical component of successful degree completion. Originality/value While their relationship remains unique and perhaps inimitable, the authors seek to extrapolate the universal qualities relevant to others seeking a deep and personal support system during their doctoral degree-seeking journey.

“…To that end, a network was built, its vertices standing for the academic teaching staff members of the Department that were assigned reference numbers (No. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]; the arcs between the vertices stand for the mentoring potential level of each member. The graph refl ects is analytically represented in Equation 5.…”

“…In 1985, G. Odiorne regarded mentorship as an innovative strategy of the management system in the United States, providing a mechanism for updating any organization within its own framework [11]. The next surge of interest in mentorship was in the 1980s and was studied in the works of such scientists as D. Megginson, D. Clutterbuck, E. Parsloe, and some others [12,13]. It is also the time where the appearance of terminological confusion as a result of interpretation of this concept content in various fi elds of science belongs to.…”

New Federal State Higher Educational Standard introduces signifi cant changes in the sense of purpose of education and overburdens professional adaptation of a starting teacher. In this regard, introduction of effective methods for developing a mentoring mechanism in the higher education system is updated. The goal of the research was to develop an approach to the defi nition and development of the mentoring potential in higher education institutions through the example of the Ural Region of the Russian Federation. Interviewing helped to analyze the need for mentorship and the level of its potential in universities of the Ural Region. A system of criteria for assessing the potential of a mentor in higher school was substantiated and structured. Using Harrington's scale, qualitative levels of the potential of a young professional's mentor in higher education institutions were determined based on quantitative scores. A mentor identifi cation model was proposed, taking into account qualitative and quantitative criteria of the mentoring potential. A system of optimization measures for developing the mentoring mechanism in the higher education system of the Ural Region was substantiated. Practical implementation of the fi ndings would facilitate effective adaptation of young professionals to teaching activities and develop their pedagogical potential.
