Faculty Mentors

Description
The Gonzaga Institute for Action Against Hate's Faculty Mentor program is designed to help faculty who are just beginning to teach hate-related courses develop their syllabus and content. The Institute appoints mentors based on their experience to assist faculty who are seeking suggestions, ideas, or guidance on their courses. This is a new program and we are currently seeking individuals who want to serve as volunteer faculty mentors.

The mentor program is not the traditional form where the mentor and mentee meet regularly, nor is there an exclusive relationship. Faculty seeking assistance may contact one or all of the listed mentors to get a broad range of insight into the topic of hate. Faculty will contact a mentor before teaching a course and then follow-up with the mentor after the course to discuss how it went. Mentees may also contact mentors throughout the length of the course to discuss ideas, concerns, or issues.

Who is a Mentor

The Gonzaga Institute for Action Against Hate appoints individuals who are interested in mentoring other faculty from around the country in developing and teaching classes related to hate. The Institute seeks faculty members who are experts in their field and have an interest in promoting the field of hate studies.
Faculty Mentors are appointed for a two-year term based upon their deep knowledge and experience regarding their discipline, hate issues, and their engagement in promoting and participating in team teaching and interdisciplinary work.
One mentor is selected from each of the disciplines listed below. By maintaining mentors in multiple disciplines, the Institute provides a program of breadth and depth in support of faculty developing new courses on hate. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the field of hate studies, faculty are not limited to which mentor they contact or how many. Faculty may request to contact as many of the mentors as they see fit to meet their needs.

Mentors are selected from the following disciplines:
Psychology
Sociology
Law/Political Science
History
Theology
Criminal Justice
