ABSTRACT
In this chapter, using a duoethnographic method, we present a reflective dialogue about our peer mentorship experiences in writing for publication, from the time we were doctoral students to our current status as early-career academics. Theoretically, we draw on the notion of academic discourse socialization to illustrate how the collaborations between us as academics coming from different socio-cultural and linguistic backgrounds—one being a white Anglophone American and the other being a multilingual Iranian-Canadian—have fostered peer mentorship and facilitated our socialization into academic publication. We conclude the chapter by foregrounding the more generalizable socio-cultural aspects of our collaborative experiences, and discuss their implications for mentorship and socialization of graduate students and early-career academics into scholarly publication.
