Workshop Description: In this 1-hour workshop, Dr. Buffie Longmire-Avital will provide an overview of her reparative mentoring model that embodies the tenets of critical mentoring. Participants will learn and begin to engage in the best practices within this framing. Specifically, mentors will:

  • Reflect on the dynamic positionality that occurs throughout recruitment and mentoring,
  • Integrate a community cultural wealth model to evaluate, contextually, HURM student ability, readiness for, and potential contribution to the HIP experience,
  • View student-generated signature work from HURMS, as a reparative practice in acknowledgment of historical inequity in higher educational spaces,
  • Nurture a state of mutual vulnerability that prioritizes the need for self-care for both the student and the mentor.
