FI’s University Worth Fighting For series presents podcast episode 1:7, “The Fellow to Faculty Transition.” FI fellow and host, Tatiana Bertolucci is joined by former FI fellow and post-doc, Dr. Megan Henriquez to discuss her journey from student to colleague in her field of Biological Anthropology.
This episode will speak to you whether you’re a first-generation college student just starting out, a graduate student navigating your career, a faculty member mentoring the next generation, or anyone who’s ever wondered what it really takes to build a meaningful life in higher education.
This conversation is about transitions. How do you take skills built in one context and carry them into a new one? How do you position yourself when you’re early in your career and the landscape feels uncertain? And what does it actually look like to do equity-centered work inside institutions that weren’t always designed with you in mind?
