Abstract

Regardless of an individual’s background, completion of a doctoral degree is a difficult feat. This chapter shares an account of my experience navigating the challenging doctoral journey, while also facing obstacles such as imposter syndrome, lower-middle class socioeconomic standing, societal expectations of women’s roles, becoming a first-time mother, and issues unique to being a first-generation college attendee. Time periods and topics of the doctoral journey such as events leading up to beginning and entrance into the programme, comprehensive examination, the process of dissertating, and the job search for a faculty position in higher education are highlighted. The importance of support in overcoming obstacles during each of these phases of the doctoral journey is reiterated throughout this chapter. Personal anecdotes and experiences are recounted for the purpose of offering suggestions and potential guidance to those wishing to begin or those wishing to support someone during a doctoral journey.
