What We Are Looking For
This year’s conference theme is Fostering Diverse Communities of Mentorship: Evidence-Based Practices for Reciprocal Growth. In the past fourteen years, our outstanding Mentoring Conference presenters have created a rich archive of knowledge of mentoring that serves as a fertile foundation for practitioners and researchers. This year we will continue our search for innovative models for diverse mentoring communities. We want to encourage discussion about work that draws from evaluated, sustainable mentoring programs using practitioner testimonies to promote further mentoring research. Theoretical and practical case studies, qualitative research methods, and practices that reflect effective methods for different populations and mediums will be valuable to this conference.
We are particularly keen to receive proposals that:
Are informative and relevant to the conference theme Fostering Diverse Communities of Mentorship: Evidence-Based Practices for Reciprocal Growth
Are supported by theory and research, and
Use the scientific method to understand this phenomenon
We are interested in hosting presentations related to mentoring, coaching, and leadership within multiple configurations such as peer, traditional, group, circle, face-to-face, and virtual relationships. Submissions will be accepted for the following strands: entrepreneurship, business, STEM (science, technology, engineering, & mathematics), education, arts and humanities, health sciences, international, Mentoring during COVID-19, and others.
We seek proposals that accomplish the following:
A maximum of 300 words (split into 4 75-word sections)
Present theoretical frameworks that translate and support the establishment of high-quality connections in the context of developmental relationships
Demonstrate the effectiveness of existing mentoring, coaching, and leadership practices
