Abstract: "Thriving in Higher Education: Uncovering Institutional Counter-Stories Through Abolitionist Feminist Mentoring" shares personal narratives that highlight the critical role of mentoring in academic success--especially for women and people of color on the tenure track. Institutions often use mechanisms of control to shame those who challenge hegemonic norms and expectations. These shaming practices serve to silence and isolate victims, contributing to the hidden and ongoing nature of these mechanisms. In this book, scholars share experiences of microaggressions, racial battle fatigue, and institutional retaliation, revealing the hidden costs of advocating for justice and truth within academia. These nineteen chapters, authored by multidisciplinary educators--some in collaboration with their mentors or mentees--serve as both guidebooks and cautionary tales necessary to navigate the potential perils of higher education through mentoring relationships. These brave counter-stories present tales of joy, resistance and solidarity for scholars deemed outsiders, troublemakers, boat-rockers, critical scholars, truth tellers, and the like. While the work of dismantling institutional oppression is often costly--bringing stress, fear, and even trauma--this book stands as a beacon of hope. It offers readers not only validation and solidarity, but also practical strategies for building empowering mentoring relationships rooted in care, resistance, and community. Thriving in Higher Education is both a call to action and a testament to the resilience of those who dare to thrive in spaces not built for them.
