S103: Whitney
This week on AcaDames, Whitney discusses what it’s like to receive tenure, why she sets boundaries between her personal and professional life, and even a mathematical formula for choosing love. She also shares her experience being the only black tenure-track woman in her department, and why a home renovation was more stressful than her high-risk pregnancy.
