Mentorship across all career stages is a key way for individuals to do their part in developing, sustaining, and diversifying the research community. Ideally, the mentor-mentee relationship is mutually beneficial, promoting the careers and the research programs of both parties. But the relationship is also constitutively marked by power imbalances and vulnerabilities. This panel will explore how mentors and mentees can navigate the thorny ethical terrain of these important academic roles and what institutional supports can ensure inclusive and productive mentorship relationships.
This panel features:
Katie Stinson, MLIS (Virtual Engagement Strategist, NRMN Resource Center), Abigail Norris Turner, PhD (Associate Professor, Department of Internal Medicine, College of Medicine, OSU), and Marcela Hernandez, PhD (Administrative Director, Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, OSU).
