On becoming a scholar: The role of mentors and institutions in the emergence of scholarship

Abstract

Becoming a scholar is a unique experience for each individual. It does not suddenly happen in the graduate office where you officially submit the final copy of your doctoral dissertation, along with a check for fees payable, and the clerk hands you a small green receipt with a curt, “Congratulations”. It is a journey. A journey, if undertaken properly, that does not really ever end.
