Mentorship is an activity in which science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) professionals engage to help develop the next generation of STEMM professionals. While that statement may be a truism, it does not adequately address three important questions: What exactly is mentorship? What makes it effective? How does it occur in various settings? Mentoring relationships can be intentionally created and developed, and there is a substantial scholarship—a science of mentoring relationship¹—to inform this process. This chapter provides an overview of historical and evolving perspectives on mentoring, introduces a working definition of mentorship, and summarizes several theoretical frameworks supporting this definition.

Our research shows that a Shared Equity Leadership (SEL) approach has great potential for navigating Restrictive Political and Legal Environments (RPLEs). SEL is a collaborative approach to equity work in which responsibility is distributed and embedded across campus rather than concentrated in a single role or office.

In this publication, the first in the “On Shared Equity Leadership” series, we describe how broadly inclusive and collaborative approaches to leadership are necessary to achieve equitable outcomes. We term this approach shared equity leadership (SEL), in which equity becomes everyone’s responsibility and multiple campus stakeholders collectively share leadership for equity.

We term this approach shared equity leadership (SEL), in which equity becomes everyone’s responsibility and multiple campus stakeholders collectively share leadership for equity. At the heart of shared equity leadership is the notion of personal journey toward critical consciousness, in which leaders develop or strengthen a commitment to equity through their identity, personal experiences, or relationships and learning. Leaders’ personal journeys help them develop the values necessary to share leadership for equity, as well as carry out the practices that enact this type of leadership. These values and practices are embodied and enacted by leaders collectively.
