Whether you complete your studies first or break it up with experiences in the working world, you’re still going to gain the knowledge and you’re still going to do the work. In today’s episode, you’ll hear from Dr. Torie Weiston-Serdan, a scholar and practitioner with over 15 years of teaching and youth programming experience. She holds a Ph.D. in Education from Claremont Graduate University and has established herself as a thought leader in the field of critical and culturally sustainable youth mentorship. Dr. Torie Weiston-Serdan is also the founder and executive director of the Youth Mentoring Action Network, a community-based nonprofit that mentors Californian, Inland Empire Youth through high school into college and careers. In today's conversation, she reflects on how her childhood and adolescent experiences in a suburban environment in the Inland Empire informed her research and resulted in the work she does today. She expands on her dedication to addressing the mentorship gap for Black, brown, and LGBTQ+ youth after seeing a lack of mentorship for that demographic during her research, how she benefited from working as a teacher while doing her Master’s degree, and why she teaches her graduate students that you can only really understand all the theory you’ve been immersed in once you start applying it in the working world. Listeners can also expect plenty of insights into how to choose an institution based on the faculty members, especially if you are a prospective Ph.D. candidate, so make sure to tune in today!
