    I would not put yourself through the stress/effort of acquiring a third MA. Having 2, and a P.h.D. is very impressive. If you have a good mentor, reach out to them for opportunities for peer-reviewed publications and such. You sound awesome! Wishing you the best

    Treat your PhD as a 9-5 job. I try not to work on weekends and evenings.

    didn't get one either. not to concerned though. there is too way much negative news and scandals surrounding it at the moment. i'm not sure being affiliated with the foundation is a good thing right now, and it is only going to get worse.

    hahaha, we're all in the same boat lol
    I'm kinda relieved to be honest, I'll be able to finish my Ph.D. a bit earlier. And the things I've heard about the Foundation makes me believe it is not the safest heavens for BIPOC people...

    Yup. Same here - today I've switched from UVic to UofT...neither of which are my schools. At least the random, unexplained switches make the obsessive checking a bit more interesting for us all? ?

    Hey guys !
    A big and honest congrats to everybody who got funded, it IS deserved and I hope you will celebrate :).
    I got a 14.46/20, committee 3, and didn't get funded.
    If you are curious : I have 3 published scientific papers and 6 published professional papers, 15+ scientific and professional conferences, 4 TAs and RAs, 7 doctoral grants, I was a semi-finalist for the Trudeau foundation scholarship, I have 7 years of professional experience in my field and have a GPA of 9.4/10. My research also falls under one of the SSHRC priorities.
    If you ask me : I don't understand how the system worked this year. It makes no sense after reading some of your messages. If you did not get funded, do not let a biais system determined your worth as a researcher. Your research is valid and you are valid.

    Hey! Those are great programs. I'm a bit nervous as well, I can't lie. But yes - good luck to you as well  
    I'm specializing in the intersections of race, gender, and class in regards to mental health - specifically looking at Black American women. So I'm applying to a few Interdisciplinary programs for that.

    Presenting at a zoom conference tomorrow, have only written half of my presentation, am too bored and too burned out, and probably will pull an all-nighter but haven't freaked out just yet. I have no idea why I am this calm. Just wanted to share this.

    I am hesitant to be overly pessimistic here, but this seems to be a larger trend in academia. While our personal experiences, perspectives and challenges should of course frame the context of our applications for these sorts of things, it's a real bummer that many of these contests have been essentially reduced only to these factors.

    NWSA newsletter (including any specific sections that interest you) and the ASA Sexualities and Gender & Sexuality newsletters! You can also check the sites for various gender studies journals to see if they have any special issues coming up, but that's more time consuming to do on a regular basis.

    I gave up thinking people were good. 

    I went to a grad program, giving up fine career, seeking to switch careers make a difference in the world. I quickly realized that my peers and people in the social impact business by in large didn't really care about the social impact they were actually making.
