PhD students often navigate competing pressures to conform while developing their unique scholarly voice. TJ will provide practical strategies for maintaining your sense of self while managing the demands of doctoral studies.

We'll discuss:

  • Balancing academic expectations with personal values and boundaries

  • Managing imposter syndrome
