Rethinking Graduate Education: Power, Play, and Well-Being
Thu, April 9, 4:15 to 5:45pm PDT (4:15 to 5:45pm PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Poster Hall - Exhibit Hall ASession Type: Poster Session
Abstract
This poster session highlights innovative and critical perspectives on graduate education. One study examines how doctoral supervision in transnational contexts can shift from hierarchical power to co-created empowerment. Another experiment turns to video games as playful mentor texts, revealing how “losing” can generate resilience and institutional growth. A third project confronts postdoctoral blues, sharing narratives of loss and strategies for proactive care. Together, these posters invite attendees to reimagine graduate education through equity, creativity, and holistic well-being.
