Testimonials
“I experienced steadfast support through several structures, which served over time to help me develop into a scholar. In this community, I felt connected and buoyed, rather than isolated and stuck, as emerging scholars and writers often can. My weekly check-ins with a smaller group (3) of fellow dissertators who were working roughly along the same timeline as myself provided me with a different, more specific structure and a sense of accountability, as I felt I needed to be ready to discuss and receive feedback on my progress on a weekly basis.” ~Dr. Valerie Marsh, Associate Professor (Clinical), Assistant Director Center for Urban Education Success, Director GRADE Program, Warner School of Education
“It has been an incredible experience to witness students including myself, through regular gatherings and sharing such as weekly accountability group meetings create a self-sustaining cycle of support, encouragement, and growth as they help and/or rely on one another.” ~Dr. Yu Jung Han, Assistant Professor (Clinical), University of Rochester
“For writing to be goal-oriented and fulfilling, it needs structures, and not everyone is able to do the structuring work, but I know one: Jayne C. Lammers. The weekly check-ins for accountability and the writing camps that she led/organized during my PhD program not only helped me finish my dissertation but also nurtured my writing skills and capacity as an academic. Most importantly, the experiences have built in me the stamina and need to pursue writing as a meaning-making journey, which I find invaluable for living in a (post-PhD graduation) academic life here in Indonesia. I am also grateful that I had the opportunity to run writing camps together with Jayne during her Fulbright U.S. Scholar program (2019-2020) at my university, Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES), Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. The result of which was that my colleagues and I had a better understanding of how writing is a social practice.” ~ Dr. Puji Astuti, Associate Professor of English Language and Literature, UNNES
