Women have very different experiences with workplace learning than men and when women are of African, Asian, Native/Indigenous or Latin descent they experience inequitable barriers to workplace learning opportunities. Mentors play a critical role in workplace learning while also navigating their own learning and development. This reminded me my dissertation, here's an excerpt:
Since mentors are facilitators of workplace learning, researchers should further explore the types of social relationships that can develop between mentor and mentee. Johnson-Bailey and Cervero (2004) explored their cross-cultural mentoring relationship and provided insight into the intricacies of cross-cultural mentoring and ways to support these relationships. Although Johnson-Bailey and Cervero’s work provided a rare perspective of mentor-mentee relationships,future research using a dyad design on cross-cultural faculty mentoring would illuminate challenges to successful mentoring relationships.
