Academia Wasn't Built for You: Expert Help for Women & Minority PhDs | Chatty Monday w/ Jen Harrison

Welcome to Grow Into Your PhD! In this Chatty Monday interview, I sit down with Jennifer Harrison, PhD, a dissertation coach who specializes in helping PhD students—especially women and women of color—navigate the broken parts of academia. Jennifer and I dive deep into the challenges that women and minority students face, why academia's structures weren't designed with everyone in mind, and how to advocate for yourself when the system isn't working for you. We also discuss toxic academic cultures, work-life balance, the importance of community, the brutal realities of the US adjunct system, and practical strategies for getting better support throughout your PhD journey. 📍 Chapters: 0:00 Intro: Systemic Challenges for Women & POC in Academia 1:09 Jennifer's Journey: From UK Academia through US Adjuncting to Dissertation Coach 3:27 Working with PhD Students Worldwide: Global Academic Systems and Research Perspectives 6:06 From Children's Literature Research to Empowering Academics 8:15 The Highs and Lows: Conference Joy vs. Adjunct Reality 10:12 COVID as Catalyst: Quitting the Toxic Academic Culture of the US Adjunct System 15:28 Choosing Freedom: Jennifer's Shift to Entrepreneurship 17:12 Prioritizing Well-being and Supporting Academic Caregivers 23:47 The Power of Community and Seeking Professional Support 29:19 Critiquing Academia's 'One Size Fits All' Mentality 31:44 Practical Advice: Handling Vague Supervisor Feedback 36:26 Role Models in Academia & Hope for the Future 38:34 Outro: Connect with Jennifer Harrison Connect with Jennifer Harrison: Website: http://www.readwriteperfect.com/ LinkedIn:   / jennifer-harrison-rwp   What's your biggest struggle with your supervisor?
