In this month's reading we are examining Dr. Jennifer Gomez's experience moving from graduate school into a tenure track position. She also provides advice for Women of Color who are currently on the job market as well as identifying avenues for systematic change. She asserts that by publicly sharing our pain in academia, community, solidarity, and healing can be fostered.
