A Conceptual Framework for Mentorship Support to Early-Career Black Women Academics in South Africa by Maréve Biljohn, Tatenda Shaleen Marange, Aliza le Roux, Kathleen Schroeder

“…While structural and systemic challenges contribute to this, a lack of formal mentorship support for Black women academics is among the underlying reasons. Against this background, using various mentorship models applied in higher education institutions as the theoretical lens, this article explores a conceptual framework for mentorship support to early-career Black women academics, which will often happen in a cross-cultural context due to historical imbalances. …”
