Abstract

In this paper, I will discuss mentoring within the discipline of Communication by centering international scholars, who are translated as people of color in the U.S. and are engaged with questions drawn from the context of their nations of origin. How do you enable such a scholar to traverse boundaries – national and disciplinary with the selfassurance that ostensibly comes from feeling at home? Briefly discussing the history of the institutionalization of Communication as an academic discipline, I ask what it means to mentor scholars of color engaged with transnational work within a space that centers the nation-state as a bounded territory, in general and the U.S. in particular. Drawing on transnational and women of color feminist theorization and praxis, I also draw out the productive collaborations and relationships forged when mentoring reveals the processes through which the discipline reiterates its boundaries.
边界上的指导:跨学科和传播中的有色人种国际学生
在本文中,我将以国际学者为中心,讨论传播学学科中的指导,这些学者在美国被翻译为有色人种,并参与从其原籍国的背景中得出的问题。你如何使这样一位学者能够跨越国界——国家和学科的界限,并带着表面上来自宾至如归的自信?简要地讨论了作为一门学科的传播制度化的历史,我问,在一个以民族国家为中心的有界领土的空间里,特别是在美国,指导有色人种学者从事跨国工作意味着什么。借鉴跨国女性和有色女性的女权主义理论和实践,我还描绘了指导揭示了学科重申其边界的过程时形成的富有成效的合作和关系。
