“…Scholarly growth through research often earns faculty members in the university promotion to the position of professors. The term "Professor" means those at the pinnacle of the academic staff hierarchy (Full Professor) (Evans, 2017).…”

This study is designed to determine the trend of inaugural and public lecture presentations at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO), from 1986 – 2019. A total of thirty-five hard copies of the inaugural and thirty-three public lectures were retrieved from the University Library for the research. The frequency of presentation, gender of the lecturers, discipline/programme, subject matter and trend of presentation of the lectures were analyzed using descriptive statistics including frequency tables, percentages, charts and graphs. Findings revealed that only a few lecturers have presented their inaugural lectures compared to the number of Professors in the University. More males had presented lectures, when compared to females. Sciences, Engineering, Agriculture and Management had low presentation. The subjects of the public lecture revolved around and demonstrated the societal challenges and issues at the time of the presentations. Recommendations were made primarily to ensure motivation and policy position on inaugural and public lectures presentation. Keywords: Inaugural lectures, Public lectures, Research, Universities

“…Further, mentoring programs may also be associated with institutional services for financial gain by "visiting fellows While institutional mentoring initiatives include many conjoint facilitators of the cultural, economic, and political aspects of academia, the main purpose of higher education institutions is the development of ECRs, as explained by the following: "If they (junior researchers/academics) do not get mentoring, professional development, and support early from their institutions, their talents might be wasted" (Browning et al, 2017, p. 373). Higher education institutions can also adapt mentoring-role modelling schemes to more comprehensive, academic leadership training or a faculty development program in order to enrich faculty socialisation (Rohwer, 2015), establish collegial communication channels (Evans, 2017), increase disciplinary and interdisciplinary cooperation (Uslu, 2016), and promote engagement with the international research community (Damonse & Nkomo, 2012), particularly benefitting from senior academics' professional networks (Macfarlane, 2011).…”

Many, if not most, of my writing comes from experience, as it does for many scholars-either observing situations and events, being among those involved in these, and the many discussions with students and colleagues about the experiences they have gone through in many countries I have visited or worked in. This topic of mentoring and the related role of role modelling initially came to me shortly after doing my doctorate in a mentoring mode with Christopher Hodgkinson in Canada, and my ideas about this were reinforced when I was mentored in informal postdoctoral work with Wolfgang Mommsen in Germany in the 1990s. Since that time, I have mentored some of my doctoral students, particularly in the last few years working with several in the Arabian Gulf. It was time for me to revisit my research and understanding of this topic after going through several years of research trips, guest lecturing and collaborative projects in Western, Central and Eastern Europe, followed by several years in the Gulf learning about the embeddedness of such roles in

“…Mraz sier det slik: «There's no global job description, no template, no handbook, only the example of those who have gone before» (Mroz, 2011, s. 11). Fordi det er forsket og skrevet så lite om professorposisjonen (Evans, 2017;Rayner et al, 2010), blir oppfatningen av hva det innebaerer å vaere professor, anekdotedrevet og kanskje stereotyp. De fleste tenker på en mann når det er snakk om «en professor», og kanskje helst en eldre mann.…”

Kvinnelige og mannlige professorers synlighet i medieneEn undersøkelse av kvinnelige og mannlige professorer i VG og Aftenposten Female and male professors' visibility in the mediaA study of male and female professor representation in VG and Aftenposten Sammendrag Denne undersøkelsen dreier seg om mannlige og kvinnelige professorers synlighet i mediene, naermere bestemt om hvordan professorer brukes som kilde i VG og Aftenposten, de to største norske riksavisene. Vi har fremsatt fem hypoteser om hvordan mannlige og kvinnelige professorer blir brukt som kilde, og bak disse hypotesene ligger det antakelser om at kjønnsulikhetene i akademia også preger hvilke kilder som er synlige i norske nyhetsmedier. Vi har brukt Retriever for å identifisere relevante saker i VG og Aftenposten gjennom 2016. Vi finner at mannlige professorer er overrepresentert som kilder i avisene, og de er mer synlige enn andelen menn i akademia skulle tilsi. Vi har funnet flest saker med professor som kilde innenfor det samfunnsvitenskapelige fagfeltet. Den forholdsmessige andelen kvinnelige og mannlige professorer her er ganske lik. Slik er det ikke innenfor andre fagfelt. Mannlige professorer brukes oftere i nyhetssaker, mens kvinnelige professorer brukes relativt sett oftere innenfor feature. Kvinnelige journalister bruker kvinnelige professorer som kilde oftere enn andelen kvinnelige professorer totalt skulle tilsi, mens det for mannlige journalister er motsatt. Kvinnelige professorer er ikke like synlige, og kildebruken gjenspeiler derfor ikke den fordelingen som vi finner i akademia. AbstractThe study is about male and female professors' visibility in the media. More specifically, how professors are used as sources in the two largest Norwegian national newspapers. We have put forward five hypotheses about the use of male and female professors as sources in VG and Aftenposten. Behind these hypotheses there are expectations that gender differences still characterize which sources are visible in the news media. We have used Retriever to identify articles where professors are used as sources in the national newspapers throughout 2016. The results of the analysis strengthen the hypotheses. Male professors are overrepresented in the newspapers. Most of the articles using a professor as a source were within the social science field, and the proportionate part of female and male professors were quite similar. This was not the case in other fields. Male professors are more frequently used in news articles, whereas female professors are more frequently used in features. Female journalists use female professors more often than the Årgang 106, nr. 4-2019Årgang 106, nr. 4- , s. 1-14 ISSN online: 1500Årgang 106, nr. 4- -1989 SIGRUN WESSEL SVENKERUD OG BRIT BOLKEN BALLANGRUD 2 proportion would indicate, whereas for male journalists the opposite is true, as they rarely use female professors as sources. The use of sources does not reflect the ratio of female and male professors in academia.
