Intersectionality acknowledges the ways social identities intersect to influence individuals’ experiences of privilege and oppression. While widely embraced across regions and academic fields, understanding its application to mentoring relationships remains limited. This edited collection bridges this gap by exploring how intersectional scholarship intersects with mentoring practices within the context of the Caribbean.
Emphasizing the role of mentoring as a form of activism, Intersectional Mentoring, Solidarity and Advocacy in Higher Education: A Caribbean Perspective navigates the multifaceted dimensions of intersectionality, grounding the dynamics around its theoretical, methodological and empirical applications within the Caribbean context.
Academics, researchers, and professionals across various disciplines, particularly those interested in intersectionality, Caribbean studies, mentoring practices, and social justice, will greatly benefit from this work. Its comprehensive exploration of intersectional scholarship within the Caribbean context, coupled with insights into mentoring dynamics and applications, offers valuable perspectives and strategies for fostering inclusive practices within academia and beyond
