“…In contrast to the ''masculine'' mentoring model, which has tended to advance the individual careers of professionals who, more often than not, are already members of powerful and privileged groups (see Colley, 2002), feminist and multicultural perspectives focus on empowering members of marginalized groups (Moss et al, 1999). This move, as our narratives suggest, has both individual and collective implications.…”

“…Scholars have examined how the presence of female faculty has influenced which students are mentored and how this mentoring occurs (Benishek et al 2004;Fassinger and Hensler-McGinnis 2005;Johnson and Huwe 2003;Moss et al 1999). It is essential to explore how faculty affiliation with women's studies affects the values, attitudes, and behaviors they bring to sociology.…”

There has been much research on gender inequality in graduate education and the benefits of mentoring. However, most of this research focuses on how mentoring addresses female graduate students' experiences of gender inequality instead of how the gender characteristics of departments impact the level of mentoring they offer. In particular, I examine how the gender composition of departments in terms of faculty and administration as well as faculty awareness of gender inequality or feminist issues influences the types of mentoring structures found in graduate departments of sociology. Bivariate correlations indicated that these characteristics (gender characteristics in particular) had significant relationships with mentoring structures in departments. This study concludes with a discussion of these relationships, an overview of policy implications, and suggestions for future research.

“…Taking a different tack are 'advice' pieces prepared by North American faculty and postgraduate students on ways to help women faculty survive and advance by mentoring, networking, seeking or serving as role models, and furthering their communication skills (Hansen et al, 1995;Moss et al, 1999). Though valuing self-help and mutually supportive activities, I remain disturbed that this work emphasises women changing themselves, rather than more inclusive disciplinary and institutional efforts to transform the climate for those who work and study in geography in higher education.…”

Looking Out, Looking In: The ‘Other' in theJournal of Geography in Higher Education

Journal of Geography in Higher Education

The Journal of Geography in Higher Education has a vision of being inclusive. This paper examines what the journal, throughout its history, has published on teaching and learning in relation to people and places referred to in contemporary scholarship as the 'Other'. It addresses themes of gender, race/ethnicity, sexuality, and the 'Third World', noting especially the surprising paucity of material on the latter. In particular, the article explores ways in which teaching addresses aspects of students' values and attitudes, and the importance of linking knowledge, emotion, experiential learning and action.
