ACADEMIC

COACHING

Writing a thesis or dissertation on a regular day can make your hair fall out so I can't imagine what you are going through trying to do this during a pandemic. But you don't have to do this alone!

I have my Masters in Sociology: Gender, Sexuality, and Society from the University of Amsterdam. My thesis was a feminist content analysis that explored impacts of feminist methodologies on research design and outcomes.

I have tutored students taking sociology classes and those writing their thesis or dissertation. I absolutely love having these conversations and encouraging my students to take ownership over their own knowledge and the impact it could have in the world.

MY THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS

• Sexual Difference Theory - Braidotti, Irigaray, De Beauvoir
• Performativity - Butler, Young
• Feminist Methodologies - Haraway, Harding
• Bodies and Emotions - Schilling, Merleau-Ponty, Goffman, Jhally, Kemper, Scheff
• Gender in the Urban Landscape - Wilson, Jacobs, Roy, Massey, Warner, Duyvendak, 
• Feminist Pedagogy - hooks, Frier
• The Usual Sociological Suspects - Marx, Mead, Du Bois, Durkheim, Mills, 

Whether writing for a class, thesis, or dissertation, my aim is to get students to find the story of the paper through nailing down the structure. I excel at helping students overcome the hump of each chapter, ensure that what needs to be covered is covered, and get students to take full ownership over the research they have done, ensuring they can talk about it in a way that feels natural to them and communicates their work.

Let me help you during this time. You do not have to go

through this alone. Reach out and let's chat!
