THEME AND TOPICS

While mentoring and role modelling are often referenced in educational, administrative and
leadership literature, there is relatively little on them in the field of educational administration
and leadership, particularly in international and cross-cultural contexts. What effect has
neoliberalism had on these roles, and what is the impact of globalisation? Have the incursions
of business and market models affected mentorship and role modelling adversely, for
example, by standardising, managing and regularising it, in other words, kitschified it by
mounting designed programmes that allow little variation or depth, and may, in fact,
correspond poorly to the full range of academic and scholarly responsibilities and activities?

What are the challenges for expatriates mentoring and role modelling when teaching abroad,
or for faculty in teaching and supervision foreign students from countries with different
religious, cultural and political systems? Is there a problem with using behavioural models in
mentoring that has little content or expertise in it, or which may violate religious and cultural
values and norms? Has globalization using mentoring and promoting particular role models
advanced colonisation? Can mentoring and role modelling provide a social justice aim like
advancing social inclusion? Can it be used to overcome and suppress negative stereotyping?
Are there security and other risks in using foreign mentoring and role modelling? There are a
number of issues related to the definitions of mentoring and role modelling. To what extent
is it a close, collaborative professional relationship between an expert or very well established
professional and a novice, as defined traditionally composed of professional teaching,
guardian protective, and emotion support roles? Should mentoring be distinguishable from
other supportive roles such as teaching, supervising, facilitating, guiding, advising, peer
teaching, coaching, etc., in other words has it become broadened to such a degree that it loses
its particular qualities? What range of activities and dimensions of relationship does it
include? How do race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and ethnicity affect the
relationship? What cross-cultural factors inhibit mentoring and role modelling? What effect
does the culture, political system, economic conditions, and social practices have on role
modelling and mentorship? Are there some cultures and religious groups for whom
mentoring and/or role modelling are more important? Do they have distinctive phases, and
over what period of time do they need to develop?

This special issue is intended to provide an opportunity to explore how mentoring and role
modelling is conceived, how it is values, what forms it takes and what challenges and barriers
may exist. It invites contributions internationally that explore these issues.
