Do I say something if my department head introduces me as Ms. instead of Dr.?
Letter Twelve: Dear Dr. or Ms.
What I think is the most important here is what feels right to you. I think there are people who make their choice based on personal reasons to use or not use and I think there are people who make their choice for praxis reasons (putting theory into action) to use or not use and I think there are people who make their choice to use or not use somewhere in the middle of feelings & theory or even those who haven’t thought about it at all.
What advice do you have for the night before a PhD viva?
Letter Eight: Dear The Night Before Your PhD Viva
Tomorrow is not a conversation to trick you or catch you out. Tomorrow is a conversation about what was accomplished and what could have gone differently. Tomorrow is about what changed and what stayed the same throughout time. Tomorrow is about who you are as a person impacting the work you did.
