💙 We are proud to celebrate two ELPS Ph.D. students for contributing chapters to the book, Black Doctoral Students’ Experiences in Academia: Narratives of Collective Responsibility, Community, and Care.
📖 Newly minted Dr. Dawn Jenkins authored Chapter 5, Black Mothers in Pursuit of the Ph.D.: Redefining Success and Achievement Beyond Academic Metrics, exploring how Black motherhood, scholarship, and identity shape new definitions of academic success.
🧡 Doctoral candidate Christian Scioneaux authored Chapter 9, To all the Academic Aunties, Uncles, and Cousins, highlighting the importance of community, care, and fictive kinship in supporting Black doctoral students throughout their journeys.
Their scholarship reflects the power of storytelling, community, and transformative leadership in higher education. Congratulations on this incredible accomplishment!
