I think there is a need at the undergrad and grad level at least. My sense is that the best model is sometimes called "functional mentoring" or "micro mentoring". Carla Fehr knows a lot about this. But just googling, I found this link: On micro mentoring <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.people-2Dresults.com_micromentoring-2Done-2Dmentor-2Disnt-2Denough_&d=BQIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=Oo4TCJF8pXcsWPDC7Sy8bdP2IJ6ZbST0v2xdYtuNH80&m=BESN3mUwTaK-TgI6GCroRN2bBXn7VP62Zcz7fqTV34Q&s=S-4SIkSBizWZ-rvh3jhiLkOSwceQUg50Wx4Viy_r-J4&e= > (for business, but can be transposed) The basic idea is that you may need several, sometimes short-term, mentors for different issues. E.g., the best person to mentor you about your work may not be the best person to mentor you about planning a pregnancy or dealing with a harasser. I think we all need mentors. When we have been in the profession awhile, we often call them "friends." For people just starting out, we need help them navigate the rapids. --Sally -------------------------------------------------------- Sally Haslanger Ford Professor of Philosophy and Women's and Gender Studies Massachusetts Institute of Technology https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__sallyhaslanger.weebly.com&d=BQIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=Oo4TCJF8pXcsWPDC7Sy8bdP2IJ6ZbST0v2xdYtuNH80&m=BESN3mUwTaK-TgI6GCroRN2bBXn7VP62Zcz7fqTV34Q&s=JcQuwGUhO0xAiziPz5KQZ1dgpLcMJMIWJiTLq3gOBME&e= -------------------------------------------------------- On Fri, Aug 28, 2015 at 8:46 AM, Chris J.
