'Mentoring for women academics in the 'enterprise' university,' by Dr Anita Devos, Faculty of Education

When: Wednesday 9 November, 1 - 2 pm
Where: Room G25, building 6, Clayton campus

Over the past decade and a half a large number of universities in Australia and New Zealand have introduced some form of mentoring initiative for female staff. In some cases these initiatives form part of broadly based development programs, such as leadership development, and in others mentoring is offered as a stand-alone program. In most cases mentoring is supported as a vehicle to support women's career development in the context of the continuing low representation of women in senior positions.

Based on data from interviews of women academics it is argued that mentoring can be a vehicle for implementing the new curriculum of academic work in the enterprise university which produces new knowledge of work and of the self.
