Education
This week I’m privileged to share a vulnerable and intimate episode with our special guest, Dra. Diane Nevarez, who shares her experience being a Chicana PhD lecturer. Tune in to this episode to learn about what it’s like: -teaching as a contingent professor with no insurance, while on government assistance, and while unable to afford rent in California -being a Chicana mother-scholar resisting the narrative that you can’t be a mom in academia -finding the silver linings in higher ed, like identifying all the good people and having access to spaces our parents didn’t have -and what happens when you find out you’re being undervalued in academia To connect with and support Dr. Nevarez, you can follow her via chicana_di_aretes on Instagram and while you’re at it, get yourself a pair of beautiful handmade earrings.
