Ep. 52 As La Profesora, Dra. Michelle Espino Lira, slowly returns to the podcasting space, we thought it would be helpful to talk about the daunting world of doctoral program admissions. In this Sidenote, La Profesora offers invaluable insights and practical tips for making informed decisions about your doctoral journey to and through Higher Education & Student Affairs doctoral programs. This episode includes shout outs to inspiring mujeres on Instagram who are empowering Latinx voices in graduate education, a critical discussion on the necessity of diverse faculty in higher education, and reflections on the ongoing global and domestic challenges facing higher education institutions today. There's also guidance on developing meaningful relationships with faculty, the importance of having a burning question to drive your dissertation, and the essential elements to include in your personal statement. Whether you are considering enrolling full-time or part-time (listen to Ep. 34 "It's Really Full-Time Full-Time"), this episode covers everything from funding and assistantships to balancing personal commitments and academic pursuits.

La Profesora's Sidenote on Higher Ed/Student Affairs Doctoral Admissions

Ep 51 This episode is dedicated to Mrs. Ramona Espino, who was and remains a brilliant light in La Profesora's heart.  La Profesora talks about what it means to live in, through, and around grief. Through this profound loss, there lies opportunity for deep reflection about "being as doing". So often, life on these academic streets is a flurry of activity--always on to the next project, the next grant, the next opportunity to do that humble brag.  And what La Profesora asks of herself and all of us is to disentangle the doing of academic life so that we can be our whole selves without clinging to a system that will never be satisfied.  La Profesora encourages us to reflect on these questions: <ol> <li>Who am I without the doing?</li> <li> How can I center my well-being as I move along these busy academic streets? </li> <li> How can I celebrate where I am right now without focusing on what is next? </li> <li>How can I honor my process just as it is?</li> </ol> Thank you for supporting Michelle and this podcast! We will be back with more episodes soon. Adelante, mi gente!

La Profesora is coming back, ya'll! Thank you for your patience and support! As we prepare for a new season of the podcast, we want to give a shout out to an amazing scholar who is holding it down in the podcasting world: Dra. Gina Garcia! We were fortunate to have Dra. Garcia on the show in Episode 10: Beyond the HSI Designation con Dr. Andrés Castro Samayoa. We are excited about her new podcast, ¿Qué pasa, HSIs?  In this blast from the past, we talk about the process of writing Dra. Garcia's first book, Becoming Hispanic-Serving Institutions: Opportunities for Colleges and Universities, and how earning two post-docs helped to recenter her scholarly efforts and personal healing. You can learn more about Dra. Garcia's work at <a href= "http://www.ginaanngarcia.com">www.ginaanngarcia.com</a> You can find the full transcript of our conversation on our <a href= "https://latinxintelligentsia.com/back-in-the-day-replay-dra-gina-garcia/"> podcast blog</a>!
