Product Overview

For underrepresented groups in academia there is often a struggle of voice, invisibility, tokenism and isolation; therefore, how do women of color create a sisterhood in academia? This book integrates research with personal narratives and content of two students (Sophoria and Alexis) as they complete the dissertation writing process. The book further provides a culturally responsive design for graduate students, educators, mentors, administrators and researchers. Sisters in the Dissertation House: A Dissertation Narrative chronicles the journey of Sophoria and Alexis, over a period of two years, as they participate in the PROMISE dissertation program for underrepresented graduate students at the University of Maryland and face the day-to-day challenges and triumphs of completing their doctorates.
