In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

A podcast for celebration, commiseration, and support through grad school for the students who are living it (or want to). Join Elana Gloger, a full-time 4th year doctoral student and part-time human, as she chats with fellow grad students about their professional and personal experiences, without taking either too seriously. Episodes include conversations about students' Day in the Life, conversations about Diverse Identities and Racism in Academia, and themed episodes (like, Mental Health in Grad School or Resources for Efficiency).

In today's episode of Dear Grad Student, Elana chats with Dr. Apryl Alexander to discuss progress made (or not) since the 2020 'Summer of Racial Reckoning' following the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and countless others by police. What does it look like to reflect on our privilege, speak about that privilege to uplift others, and bring the safety and well-being of minoritized groups to the forefront of practice? Institutions have shown where and how they “care” about the well-being of marginalized students, staff, and faculty.

Team Talk, Lab Meeting, Journal Club #1: The UC Strike & Unionizing 52:04

52:04

In this ~special~ episode of Dear Grad Student, Elana speaks with her DGS team members, Aubrey Tingler and William Ota, about the University of California strike, the conditions which drive grad students to strike, & their views on the topic. If you’re a grad student, you've probably been told you're a student when it comes to pay and benefits, & an employee when you try to access student services. This means graduate students are vulnerable to exploitation by universities. On top of the emotional and financial costs of pursuing graduate education, working conditions have not kept up with inflation, rising class sizes, or cost of living, which makes it hard to survive for anyone, let alone the many marginalized groups in academia. In California, this resulted in three unions represented graduate student educators (TAs), graduate student researchers (GSRs), and post-docs in the University of California system to go on strike. Listen for the DGS team talk to learn more.
