📣 I’m now a doctoral candidate.

Got through comps on vibes, astrology, tears, and dreams of a Chili’s triple dipper.

Built theory maps, made memes, cried at 6am but still made the slideshow--while fearing my funding would vanish under Trump-era attacks on DEI.

Thanks to everyone who stood by me.
A close-up selfie of Janine taken outdoors in bright sunlight. They are wearing a black shirt and a necklace with a red cherry charm. Their green-tinted hair is pulled back, and they’re smiling softly at the camera. Behind them are leafy green plants and red flowers, adding a lush background. The lighting casts strong natural shadows, giving the image a warm, vibrant feel. A meme with a cartoon bird and scribbled text that reads: “i feel like i’m gonna cry / but like in a productive way / that advances theory.” The bird looks panicked with wide eyes, perfectly capturing an academic meltdown. A screenshot of a text conversation between Janine and their best friend Ian. Janine shares that their comprehensive exam committee is in the decision-making phase, jokingly calling it a conclave. Ian responds by asking, “They then decide if you are new Adult Baby Diaper Pope?”—his ongoing joke of calling ABD (All But Dissertation) “Adult Baby Diaper.” The conversation includes commentary on whether crying counts, with Janine humorously demanding smoke signals to mark their candidacy. A screenshot of a block of text from Janine’s dissertation proposal, presented on a black background with white serif font. The passage reflects on how professionals are often trained to default to institutional scripts emphasizing compliance, liability, and control. It poses reflective questions about how certain responses come to be seen as the only “responsible” ones, and calls for alternative, liberatory practices. This excerpt was particularly well-received by Janine’s committee.
