Grad Girl Wellness - Grief in Grad School
do you have a question you'd like to see answered on the podcast? text it to me here!
This season of Grad School is Hard, But...I'm featuring my awesome colleagues and the greatest hits from the first three seasons while I am out on parental leave! This week's episode is from the awesome Grad Girl Wellness Podcast, a podcast designed to inspire and highlight the stories of women of color in graduate school who are prioritizing their overall health and wellness as they pursue higher education hosted by Angela! Enjoy!
On this episode, we talk with Cydnee aka @cydneeclarke, 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, the 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
