Abstract
This conceptual review explores the full potential of mentoring for diversity initiatives. Using a positive relationships lens, I describe how focusing on average relationships obscures the benefits of high-quality mentoring and how traditional views of mentoring as hierarchical, one-way relationships limit our understanding of its role in advancing social justice. Addressing these limitations, I extend relational mentoring and diversified mentoring theories to introduce the Triple A Model of Social Justice Mentoring. This model holds that the effects of high-quality mentoring extend beyond the relationship to influence social justice outcomes. Both members can learn about diversity and experience relational dynamics that foster allyship, agentic empowerment and authentic identities. Implications for formal mentoring, diverse friendships, mentoring episodes and high-quality connections are discussed.
这篇概念性综述探讨了指导在多元化计划中的全部潜力。我使用积极关系的视角,描述了关注平均关系如何掩盖了高质量指导的益处,以及将指导视为等级制单向关系的传统观点如何限制了我们对指导在促进社会正义方面作用的理解。针对这些局限性,我扩展了关系指导和多元化指导理论,提出了社会正义指导的三重 A 模式。该模式认为,高质量指导的效果会超越指导关系,影响社会公正的结果。双方成员都可以学习多样性知识,体验促进同盟关系、代理赋权和真实身份的关系动态。本文讨论了正式指导、多样化友谊、指导事件和高质量联系的意义。
