23. Grief in Grad School
36m | Feb 11, 2022On this episode, we talk with Cydnee aka @naturallyclarke, a third year doctoral candidate in Global Leadership and Change, about grief in graduate school. This is a topic many of us have experienced but for which there is little data. While there are studies about the experiences of undergraduates, there is scarce information about graduate students as a whole and even less about underrepresented groups within the grad student population.
On this episode, we discuss:
-What we want from institutions
-What we can do as graduate students to support one another.
-Tips on how to advocate for yourself to your institutions
