Tawnshi everyone!

Welcome to an all-new season of Research Time! I’m so excited because this new season is dedicated to holding conversations with PhD Candidates, my colleagues and friends, and how we can make educational research more accessible through conversations.

I am delighted to introduce our first guest of the season, Derya Sahingil!

In our conversation, we unpack the article The Laugh of Medusa by Helène Cixous, written in 1976. In our discussion, Derya highlights her journey of writing her research proposal and the importance of rewriting stories, our stories, as women experiencing our voices and taking control of our narratives.

Content Warning: Please note that this episode shares Medusa's mythological story and discusses sexual violence. The retelling of Medusa's story takes place from 30:00 - 32:37.
