In today’s episode, Jane talks to Dr. Brittany Fox-Williams, an alum of the Elevate (now known as Book Brilliance) coaching program. Dr. Fox-Williams is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Lehman College, City University of New York. She is also part of the Sociology Doctoral Faculty at the Graduate Center at City University of New York. Her forthcoming book examines the role of trust in student-educator relationships, the salience of trust for student outcomes, and racial differences in trust among youth. 

Tune in to hear: 

• How Brittany used the coaching in Book Brilliance to “hack” academia and figure out her role as a woman of color.
  
  
• The curriculum Brittany used to read strategically and start writing sooner. 
  
  
• Why Brittany joined at the end of her third year on the tenure track, and how that decision aligned with her strategic goals. 
  
  
• Brittany’s advice for applying for grants (as one of three Book Brilliance alums who secured fellowships at the Russell Sage Foundation).
