Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali - Supervision vs Mentorship

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali - Supervision vs Mentorship

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

In this blog, Kam revisits a theme she first explored three years ago: the difference between supervision and mentorship in academia. Drawing on her journey to becoming a primary PhD supervisor, she explores structural barriers facing early career researchers, the funding realities that delay independence, and the risk of blurring mentoring with supervision. She argues that these are distinct roles requiring different skills and boundaries, and that separating them can better protect students and support openness, development, and academic progression.
