Carol A. Mullen is a Canadian-American professor of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, USA, where she served as director of the School of Education and an associate dean for the college. An interdisciplinary researcher[1] who specializes in the subject of mentorship, she is Editor Emerita of the journal Mentoring & Tutoring: Partnership in Learning,[2] having served as editor from 2002 to 2010. Subsequently, her research work examined the impact of creativity on high-stakes testing in different cultures through Fulbright-sponsored scholarships to China[3] and Canada,[4] with related study in Australia.[5]  

Education

[edit]

Mullen received a bachelor’s degree from York University. and a master’s degree and PhD from the University of Toronto.[6]

Academic career

[edit]

In 2003, Mullen was promoted to associate professor with tenure at the University of South Florida, and then full professor in 2007 at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where she served as department chair.[7]

Mullen is a leading scholar in the area of mentorship and among the originators of the concept "alternative mentoring",[8][9] an overarching term that consolidates several non-dyadic forms of mentorship.[10] These types include formal mentoring, informal mentoring, diverse mentoring, electronic mentoring, comentoring or collaborative mentoring, group mentoring, multilevel comentoring, peer mentoring, and cultural mentoring.[11][12] In 1997, she founded and coordinated the Mentorship and Mentoring Practices Special Interest Group of the American Educational Research Association (AERA)[13] and has developed other mentoring programs sponsored by organizations and universities.[14][15] An early work, Breaking the Circle of One: Redefining Mentorship in the Lives and Writings of Educators (see further reading), received the 1998 AERA Research Award from Division K: Teaching & Teacher Education.[16] Of her 28 published books, most of the early material deals with mentorship. Mentorship is similarly a theme in many of her 240 refereed and invited journal articles and book chapters, as well as 17 special issues of academic journals.[17] While these publications frequently deal with mentoring theory and practice in education, this body of work also addresses topics of leadership, creativity, social justice, and equity.[18]

Mullen received over 30 awards in leadership, research, and mentorship in the social sciences, specifically educational leadership and administration and related fields.[19] Academic awards from the International Council of Professors of Educational Leadership (ICPEL),[19] University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA), University of Toronto, and Virginia Tech recognized her as a leader with distinguished leadership, superior mentoring and teaching, and outstanding service to leadership preparation. Her significant contributions to research have also been acknowledged with the 2020 Leaders and Legends Excellence Award[20] from the University of Toronto and the 2019 Alumni Award for Research Excellence[21] from Virginia Tech. For her accomplishments in international research, she was presented with the 2017 Living Legend Award[22] from ICPEL and the 2021 Alumni Award for Excellence in International Research[23] from Virginia Tech.

Serving as president of UCEA from 2022 to 2023, Mullen is also past-president of two other national organizations in education, ICPEL[24] and Society of Professors of Education.[25] Currently, she serves as editorial board member for numerous academic journals, including Interchange,[26] International Journal of Mentoring & Coaching in Education,[27] Mentoring & Tutoring: Partnership in Learning,[2] and Teacher Development.[28]
