In this episode of the Cohort Sistas Podcast, you’ll hear from today’s guest, Dr. Norrell Edwards, who shares her perspective on thinking about your Ph.D. as just one part of your career journey, not the be-all and end-all! Dr. Edwards completed her doctorate in English literature from the University of Maryland, College Park, with a specialization in 20th and 21st century Black Diaspora Literature. Dr. Edwards recently joined Texas Christian University as Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow from her position at Georgetown University, where she served as Assistant Director of Education of their Prison and Justice Initiative. She currently serves as the volunteer director of communications for the Next Step Forward Initiative, a New York-based grassroots organization focused on making progress to eradicate systemic racism. Tuning in, you’ll hear how Dr. Edwards found her way into academia and why she says that landing on the doctoral path was somewhat accidental, and she shares the programs she enrolled in, the challenges she encountered and how she overcame them, as well as the successes she experienced along the way. Tune in today to find out more!
