If you're a POC grad student, I highly recommend buying this book: The Black Academic Guide to Winning Tenure Without Losing your Soul. It's mostly for black academics, but a lot of it can be applicable to other POC.

Ah okay. Maybe we should do a Doodle?

I will be a PhD student at uOttawa (Ontario, Canada), next fall. But I would like to complete a semester abroad during my PhD, either in the UK or in the US. It would be after the coursework so in 2020 or 2021. My research topic is sexual violence in relation to online feminist movements. Do you know any female researcher who works on those two topics ? I am doing a bit of research on Google, so far I have identified three scholars (that are outside of Social Work) and one at Rutgers (in Social Work) that work precisely on these themes. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, After reading The Black Academic Guide to Winning Tenure Without Losing your Soul, I have joined blackacademic.com in order to put some tools into place prior to starting my PhD program. They have an online forum, resources, tons of webinars. So far, it's quite helpful. I do admit it is a bit pricey, but I feel it's worth the investment. They give tools that are also applicable to any academics I recommend it.

So maybe, it's better if we do this here rather than on Discord.

a time?

My university asked me to give a public speaking workshop this Thursday and I am soooo nervous because I have never given workshops before.

ResearchNet is back, but nothing new on the portal in terms of a possible date for decisions announcement.

I don’t know any other direct login for Vanier.

ResearchNet said April 4th.

I have found funding Thanks everyone!

Planning to live in Gatineau. It's definetly less expensive than living in Ottawa I have been told!

❤️❤️❤️

Feeling low (again) tonight because of this.

Research Net website is down. Let's hope it is because they are preparing to release the results?!

Good attitude !

I don't know. ResearchNet info says April 4th. But my university says March 31st on their website, I think it's based off last year date of release of the results. I tend to believe it's going to be in April...

I believe it is the case. That's also my understanding.

I try to keep myself busy. But as the date approaches, it's hard not to not feel anxious. But one thing's for sure for me, I have put 100% effort into this application. If I don't get selected, I will be disappointed but I know as a matter of fact that I could not have done "more" at this stage to get the scholarship, I gave my 100% effort. At this point, I think it's just a question of who's the reviewers and luck.

Oh wow, it's sad that they did not notify you that you did not get selected.

Good luck!

Congrats to @high_hopes and @ttwi for making it this far! I did not get selected this year by my university, but I plan to re-apply next year. Keep us posted on the interview process, I'd love to hear more from you both. Congrats again

Can someone email them? I already did a few weeks ago but they did not give me an exact date.

I hope they release results next week. I prefer knowing that I didn't get it instead of waiting so long for an answer.
