On Writing With Kristen Roupenian
<p>In this episode, Nilüfer talks with Kristen Roupenian about writing a dissertation without fear and without silencing your voice. Everyone who pursues a Ph.D. knows the challenges that come with writing, but Kristen offers a refreshing take on the process. She reminds all of us that instead of writing to the imagined hostile audience, we should picture ourselves writing to someone who is willing to meet us halfway. Hearing this interview gave me a feeling of relief; I wish someone would have given me this advice years ago. She also taught us that if you find the writing process excruciating, then perhaps you can find another way, a more enjoyable way to write. If you are working on a dissertation, or any form of writing, you don't want to miss this interview!</p>

Student Fees: Paying to Work
<p>Stony Brook, the New School, and Baruch College are among some of the schools where graduate students have started to protest in order to abolish fees; similar protests continue on a number of college campuses throughout the United States. In this episode, we discuss the harsh reality of student fees. Should graduate workers, who are not so different than school administration and staff, have to pay fees? Are we financially secure enough to allocate part of our already limited budget for services that the university then offers to both faculty and students (while only charging students)? In this episode, we look at the history of tuition and fees in the US and listen to the first-hand experience of two members from the graduate unions at Stony Brook and SUNY Buffalo, who are both actively a part of the organized movement against fees.</p>
