Mentoring Programme 2013

Workshop 2: Panel discussion – perspectives & future actions

Wednesday 12 June 2013, 12:00-14:00; venue, CRASSH.

Lunch will be provided.

A variety of institutional and national studies show that mentoring is high on many researchers’ wish lists when asked about the kinds of academic and career support that they would like, but the scope and effectiveness of mentoring schemes is still patchy. There is also evidence to suggest that many researchers are unsure how to make the most out of mentors when they are offered them. This three-part programme aims to explore some of the assumptions that underpin the ways we approach mentoring, as well as providing support for initiating active mentoring, including peer-to-peer mentoring. The final workshop also seeks, as part of a discussion with other academics, to map out future directions for a more sustained mentoring environment in the University.

What will you get out of this workshop?

What if you haven’t taken part in the peer mentoring programme?

That’s not a problem. You are welcome to attend either or both of the workshops, with no obligation. Each workshop is booked separately.
