So you want to go to grad school?! It's the episode you've been waiting for: Brendane and Alyssa talk all things PhD life while incorporating that critical analysis you know and love. In our What's the Word segment, we discuss the four waves of feminism and why people have got intersectionality à la Kimberlé Crenshaw all the way messed up. For What We're Reading, we discuss the essay “Sitting at the Kitchen Table: Fieldnotes from Women of Color in Anthropology” by Tami Navarro, Bianca Williams, and Attiya Ahmad in order to discuss the Self/Other problematic of anthropology that excludes and alienates women of color the discipline, as well as the particular racialized and gendered experiences that make the academy an unwelcoming place. Finally, in What In the World?! we answer your questions and we spill the tea on our application process, our journey to the PhD, shout out the folks that helped us get here, and why you need friends both inside and outside of the Ivory Tower. We also talk the best advice we received about grad school, and self-care where Alyssa shares how her hot girl semester helped her have a healed girl summer. Get ready - it's a long one!

The Essential Guide To Turning Your Ph.D. Into A Job. Are you planning to become a university professor? Many graduate students dream of earning their Ph.D. and working as a tenured professor at a university, teaching what they love while continuing their research in their subject area. Unfortunately, getting a job as a tenured professor is becoming increasingly difficult. Today, universities aren’t spending their money on teachers; as a result, most professors are temporary, underpaid, and overworked adjuncts. So how can you increase your chances of landing a secure, well-paying position? Throughout The Professor Is In, author Karen Kelsky explains the ins and outs of landing your dream job. As a former tenured professor and department head, she knows exactly what gets an academic applicant a job and has helped countless Ph.D.’s become stronger applicants and land their dream careers. As you read, you’ll learn how to write a powerful cover letter, how to prepare for an interview, and why you should stop talking about your dissertation. *** Do you want more free audiobook summaries like this?

In this episode, Ivan and Liz talk with Gina Baucom, Assistant Professor in Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan. Gina earned her PhD and completed a postdoc at the University of Georgia. She joined the faculty at University of Cincinnati in 2010 before moving to the University of Michigan in 2013. Gina’s lab integrates ecology, evolution, and genetics in order to understand the persistence of noxious agricultural weeds as well as the evolution of important plant functional traits. In this episode we discuss a recent paper from the Baucom lab: “Shifts in outcrossing rates and changes to floral traits are associated with the evolution of herbicide resistance in the common morning glory” Kuester et al., Ecology letters 20(1), 41-49, 2017). Gina describes how she became interested in morning glories and how their recent work illustrates ways in which herbicide resistance can influence mating and thereby evolution of non-agricultural systems. We also talk about how Gina unintentionally “broke Twitter” with a tweet about sexism in academia. We go over some of the data that demonstrate an unfair disadvantage for women and minorities pursuing careers in science. Gina outlines four major areas surrounding this issue and discusses a number of concrete actions men and women in positions of power can take to invite women scientists into the room AND give them a seat at the table.

Dr. Ashwini Tambe is an Associate Professor of Women's Studies at University of Maryland-College Park. She has recently been writing about the #metoo movement. We discussed the precursors to this public outcry about sexual harassment, abuse, and violence; what it means to survivors/victims to be living through this moment; and how we should understand the circle of complicity that has emboldened this behavior. We also reflected on what it means to have a US president in office with accusations of sexual harassment and assault and about the crowdsourced survey created by Dr. Karen Kelsky regarding sexual harassment in academia. Articles written by Dr. Ashwini Tambe: Speculation about the "why?" question Analytical piece answering the "what" question Blog by Dr. Karen Kelsky, posted on Jan. 1, 2018 on the Chronicle of Higher Education: When Will We Stop Elevating Predators?

Now you might be thinking ‘I don’t have a PH.D, this is no use to me’. But you would be very wrong indeed as Karen shares a wealth of insight that PH.D or not will blow you socks off. Amongst other topics we cover why being yourself could be holding you back, why you should think again about stating how passionate you are for a subject, and why the job market is just like dating.
