Demystifying Graduate School: A Conversation with Paloma Ada Aguirre (UT Austin) and Angel Daniel Matos (Assistant Professor, GSWS)

Are you considering graduate studies in gender studies, the humanities, or social sciences? Curious about what graduate-level coursework entails? Wondering about funding opportunities for PhDs?

Join us for an informative session with Paloma Ada Aguirre (she/they), a current PhD student in English Literature at the University of Texas at Austin and a 2023 graduate of Bowdoin College (Education & GSWS major, English minor, Teacher Scholars Program).

Paloma will share her experiences and insights into graduate student life, addressing key concerns such as:

-The nature and intensity of graduate-level coursework
-Exploring funding sources for PhDs in the humanities and social sciences
-Understanding the labor and time commitment involved in graduate studies
-Insights gained from graduate-level academic discussions

Drawing on their experiences at UT Austin, where they research queer and Latina characterizations of girlhood in pop culture, Paloma will offer valuable perspectives and answer your questions.
