On today’s episode of the Cohort Sistas Podcast we speak with Dr. Morgan Jerald about her experience studying an interdisciplinary doctorate at the University of Michigan. We start by acknowledging the challenges of the social climate in which Dr. Jerald commenced her studies. Next, Dr. Jerald gives listeners some tips on producing an academic application that will get noticed. She talks about how she knew that Michigan would be the best place to complete her studies, showing listeners what to look out for when choosing an institution. Dr. Jerald goes on to share her hypothesis that negative stereotypes around Black female sexuality have a converse effect, leading many Black women to more conservative views and behaviors. Next, she gives us the inside scoop on applying for jobs after completing a doctorate and provides listeners with some tips on how to speed up the process. We ask Dr. Jerald to share a bit of her social experience as a minority at the larger and smaller institutions she attended and she talks us through the highs and lows. We move on to a conversation about the work that Dr. Jerald does at the Intersectionality and Marginalization Lab, talk about the importance of self-care and get Dr. Jerald to outline her biggest points of pride around her accomplishments. Tune in to hear about Dr. Jerald’s epic journey as a Black academic in the Midwest.
