The changing role of mentoring the future professorate with special attention to being a low-consensus discipline

The paper's focus is on mentoring in the discipline of kinesiology. This is a particularly important issue for kinesiology as it constitutes a "low consensus" discipline. Universities will struggle with issues of preparing the future professorate, but fields of low consensus will have unique challenges. Mentoring is discussed as a possible positive contributor to raising the level of consensus in the field.
