Extract

What work does mentoring do in the academy? to answer this question, we first have to establish what mentoring is. the university of Michigan published a detailed handbook called How to Mentor Graduate Students: A Guide for Faculty, available online. One is expected to read a guide and to perform accordingly. But this guide confronts us with the difference between theory and practice and remains silent on the issue of how much time we spend mentoring.
