Abstract

Standing up in front of a room of students is not easy. It is a performance. Online teaching does not remove the performative aspects. In this section, authors offer their advice on mentoring in the doctoral program, developing teaching strategies, seeking help, and embracing fear. Reflections on teaching as a minority drive home the many aspects of performing identities in academia.
