4.03 How to mentor anyone in academia with Dr Maria Lamonaca Wisdom

Send Vikki any questions you'd like answered on the show!

Whether you’re a PhD student or an academic, we need to be thinking about how to make mentoring more effective and enjoyable for everyone involved. This week I’m talking with author and university leader Dr Maria Lamonaca Wisdom about her new book, How To Mentor Anyone In Academia. We chat about why mentoring can be so challenging, how we can set ourselves up for success whether we’re the mentor or the mentee, and what we’d change if we were in charge of university systems. 

You can find Maria's book on the Princeton University Press site here.
