19. Casual Conversations: Recruitment limitations, online PhD, working full-time - With Vinita Puri

Welcome to the PhD Survival Guide Podcast! In this episode, I had the opportunity to talk about so many different topics and issues that various students face, but I never had to deal with personally. I spoke to Vinita Puri, an international online PhD student from Canada doing her research in the United States. Vinita covers her experiences with recruiting for her research, what it's like to do an online PhD, having a full-time job while being a full-time student, and so much more. Vinita has a robust background in academia and considers herself a lifelong learner. Her passion for her research is exemplified in this episode as well as in her bio below.

Over the past 20 years, she has gained expertise in alternative dispute resolution and clinical psychotherapy which has enhanced her ability to support individuals as they navigate through life transitions and develop resiliency in the face of adversity. Her passion for social justice fueled her desire to advocate for disability prevention and anti-oppressive policies/procedures in the workplace. Over the last 6 years, Dr. Puri has been providing consulting and coaching services to a wide range of organizations and human resource teams on change management, crisis/conflict management, addressing barriers to inclusion and employee engagement.
