I am both happy and sad (not tearfully so): it will be fifth and final such gathering I attend at SU.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m slotted in the afternoon for an informal ten-minute spiel concerning &#8220;experiences finding and working with mentors and building relationships.&#8221;  And I&#8217;ve been thinking about it quite a bit lately, especially about the options available given such a specious invitation.  I&#8217;ve had experiences.  I can identify several really terrific influences&#8211;a long list of folks, academics and non-, who have shepherded me in various ways through this program of study.<\/p>\n<p>Best to list a few? Name names? Cut straight to anecdotes?  I have considered this, thought about zeroing in on three off-site mentors who helped me to think differently about what I was setting out to do back in 2004 when coursework got underway.  Maybe begin with John Lovas&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>But the list is long, and I expect that there will be a lot of this sort of thing on Monday&#8211;naming of names, recounting how thus-and-such has been such a beacon, etc.  It&#8217;s hard to avoid.  We&#8217;re largely accustomed, it seems to me, to talking about mentoring relationships at the scale of person-to-person.<\/p>\n<p>Fine, so I will probably do some of it, too. Only a little bit.  Because I&#8217;m also interested in getting at a larger proposition&#8211;that my program of study, because of non-directed networked writing practices, has been shaped <em>tacitly<\/em> by a large number of people (viz., the blogroll and reciprocal Delicious network).  Many of these encounters are fleeting, serendipitous, casual, and gift-like.  An aggregated subscription to 20 or so Delicious users&#8217; links, a pseudonymous comment posted to Yellow Dog, a syllabus for a course at Purdue, a blogged call for a conference.  None of this is especially <i>directed<\/i> at me, and yet, at the very same time, much of it is and has been. Is this mentorship? Seems so.  It&#8217;s a sort of opt-in presencing, a manner of dwelling, of doing stuff not because anyone said you should. And I am tempted to say that those passing characterizations of online narcissism, vanity, or self-aggrandizement (wherever they lurk, usually in &#8220;that&#8217;s not for me&#8221; conversations) tend to dodge, downplay, or under-value this point about tacit, small-crowd mentorship I am trying to develop.  I can&#8217;t definitively put a finger on what sustains it.  Desire? A blend of interests (self-interest among them)? Whatever <i>it<\/i> is&#8211;in terms of mentorship&#8211;it has left me with a sure sense that my program of study would have been drastically different without it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>Monday is our grad program&#8217;s &#8220;Community Day,&#8221; a day of pre-semester conversation to set up the collegial mood that will sustain us throughout the year.
