Abstract

In this duoethnographic study, we shared stories about how we as, doctoral candidates, successfully defended our dissertations and completed our degrees. The purpose of this study was to evoke resonance with our readers as we revealed our voices as doctoral candidates and collaboratively reflected upon Life’s difficulties, challenges, and dilemmas faced during our journey. Therefore, this study explored auto-narrative accounts, visual representations, reflections, and experiences of how we successfully defended our dissertations and completed our doctoral degrees in the midst of the 2020–2021 coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic following several years of working away from our home campus. By reflecting upon and examining specific events, stories, and discoveries as researchers, we provided insights about how to empower oneself and persevere following years of remaining adrift in an All-But-Dissertation (A.B.D.) status. We end the chapter by sharing lessons learned and recommendations for doctoral students and their mentors to motivate, make progress, and move out of and beyond the drift.
