Dr. Geniece Crawford Mondé on Conducting Research with Humility and Self-Awareness

The Cohort Sistas Podcast

Conducting research with vulnerable populations calls for a special kind of humility and self-awareness. Joining us today to share her doctoral journey and provide insight into her dissertation research on formerly incarcerated mothers and their experience of re-entering society and reuniting with their children is Dr. Geniece Crawford Mondé. Dr. Mondé received her Ph.D. in sociology from Harvard University and is now an associate professor of sociology at Wingate University. During the pandemic, she converted her dissertation into a book, This is Our Freedom: Motherhood in the Shadow of the American Prison System, published by UC Press in 2022. In this episode, we learn the requirements for good qualitative interviewing, some tips for saving money in grad school, and how to manage feelings of intimidation. Dr. Mondé opens up about the intention behind seeking a tenure-track job at a small liberal arts college and returning to her dissertation after receiving tenure. Tune in to hear our prestigious guest’s grad school challenges and successes, and her considered advice for current Black women and non-binary doctoral students.
