Leading with Humanities: ACLS has developed a program called "Leading with Humanities" that focuses on leadership development for humanities scholars, with an emphasis on diversity and inclusivity.

As each paper in the issue makes poignantly clear with important conceptual and methodological contributions, place is always in the making through our movements and relations, through our ways of coming to know and be together, and through our creative and accountable analysis, data, and narrative.

The paper explores how institution-wide practices can improve the quality of higher education teaching and learning.

Written by a large number of poor and petit-bourgeois black people - the damned - poor students, poor unemployed young women and men (the street bloods), workers in low-paying dead-end jobs, and women welfare recipients... This book may be the first time that poor and petit-bourgeois black people have described the full reality of our oppression and our struggle.

“Mentor” is a term widely used in academic medicine but for which there is no consensus on an operational definition. Further, criteria are rarely reported for evaluating the effectiveness of mentoring. This article presents the work of an Ad Hoc Faculty Mentoring Committee whose tasks were to define “mentorship,” specify concrete characteristics and responsibilities of mentors that are measurable, and develop new tools to evaluate the effectiveness of the mentoring relationship. The committee developed two tools: the Mentorship Profile Questionnaire, which describes the characteristics and outcome measures of the mentoring relationship from the perspective of the mentee, and the Mentorship Effectiveness Scale, a 12-item six-point agree–disagree-format Likert-type rating scale, which evaluates 12 behavioral characteristics of the mentor. These instruments are explained and copies are provided. Psychometric issues, including the importance of content-related validity evidence, response bias due to acquiescence and halo effects, and limitations on collecting reliability evidence, are examined in the context of the mentor–mentee relationship. Directions for future research are suggested.

Effective faculty mentors have published research, understand research design, and provide support to help mentees navigate the research landscape.

Schools of graduate education in the United States continue to be challenged to attract and retain students of color. We argue that effective mentoring within a department can improve multicultural students’ graduate school experience and better position them for success in their postdoctoral careers. To be an effective mentor, a faculty member must cultivate understanding of the experience of students from various cultural backgrounds. This task is especially challenging for White faculty members because of societal dynamics involving race and ethnicity. We propose actions to help faculty members enhance their multicultural competence in mentoring.

Effective faculty mentors provide guidance, support, and resources to help new faculty navigate the tenure process.

This paper reviews mentoring definitions, mentor and protégée characteristics, and the process and outcomes of the mentoring process. In addition, the faculty provides some personal reflections about their mentoring process. Reflections of this nature may inspire us to consider further the adoption and investigation of formal and informal overt mentoring programs in our institutions in order to promote mentoring relationships that can foster personal and professional achievement and satisfaction.

Now managers, teachers, and leaders from any career, professional, or educational setting can successfully navigate the learning journey by using the hands-on worksheets and exercises in this unique resource.

Faculty in a twenty-first century school of dentistry face a variety of daily challenges. Balancing teaching, research, and scholarship can be an overwhelming task for junior faculty and is influenced by the environment and the interactions we have with colleagues. Effective mentorship can play a critical role in professional growth and development as well as academic success. Excellent mentors provide a distinct vision and can guide their protégés to achieve the goals associated with these visions. Current literature supports the definitive characteristics that potential protégés and effective mentors exhibit and delineates how mentoring can enhance productivity, efficiency, and motivation. There is also evidence that formal mentoring programs have an overall positive impact on junior faculty and may assist in retention of dental school faculty. Successful mentors take protégés under their wings for guidance, inspiration, and encouragement and in the process create motivated, productive, and successful teachers and researchers, thus leaving a legacy. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature regarding the importance and benefits of excellent mentorship.
