Episode 10 - Confessions of a First-Gen Grad Student
Manage episode 307733877 series 2980379
First generation academics are a lot of things: sometimes immigrants, sometimes underprivileged, sometimes lucky. But all first-gen academics share a common thread – they are the first in their family to glimpse and experience the culture of academia and the vast environment of knowledge and privilege that comes with it.
In this episode, Anna and I discuss with Dr. Roberta Bgeginksi, the confessions of first generation grad students, and their struggles with fitting in and fighting for their place in the realm of academia.
