Matched Episode 5: Seven Tips for Surviving the Doc Program

Back in 2021, a Facebook memory from my dissertation proposal days (November 2012, to be exact) sent me into a late-night rant, and that rant turned into a livestream for everyone currently in a doctoral program. This episode is that conversation, cleaned up. My program took me 10 years and some change, and I almost quit more times than I can count…so these are the tips that got me through: get it done, be intentional about your sample and your population, make it an easy lift for your participants, pivot with your committee, invest in a good editor if you can, and (my favorite) pick your topic early so every term paper builds toward your dissertation. Shout-out to Barbara Bray for the reminder to find your why. Whether you're just starting, in the thick of it, or still deciding if a doctorate is for you, I hope something here helps.
