The MentorThe Mentor aims to publish scholarship relevant to academic advising that is at the cutting edge, critically examines existing ideas, unsettles preconceived notions, and lays out research or intellectual agendas for the future.
We encourage short and long form essays about theories, philosophies, and concepts related to or that can inform advising as well as empirical research that challenges existing theories or findings. We welcome various disciplinary perspectives and are open to a variety of forms of scholarly writing. Submissions may be, for example, full social science research studies, discussions of how a notable or non-traditional advising case or program advances theory, philosophical thought pieces, or critical reviews of existing literature. We also welcome critical and thoughtful commentary on existing Mentor articles for potential publication in our Response & Debate section.
