Abstrakt: That symposium brought together graduate students and faculty to initiate a set of dialogs highlighting the need for BIPOC scholars to share knowledge regarding their graduate experiences, mentorship, community, and academic survival. Each circle of care created by cohorts of students is linked to each other across generations of students and is extended into the cohorts of students to come. This is particularly important considering that BIPOC graduate students often do not have the luxury of renowned BIPOC scholars or other suitable mentors within their graduate programs. When Laura first approached me (Vickie) about participating in a panel on BIPOC experiences in academia, I resisted for all the familiar reasons: fear of retaliation, academia's unwillingness to change, and my suspicion of what academia does with Black stories like mine. How It Disrupts As has been introduced here and discussed in the literature, people of color in higher education are pressured to conform to the culture of white/male/power, and even further, expected to become clones of their mentors - whether or not those mentors are BIPOC scholars themselves - if they are to be deemed successful scholar-practitioners.
