You know that old adage, “The best dissertation is a done dissertation?” It holds true for intersectionality dissertations too, which can be complex and messy, but are still best when done.
Writing the intersectional dissertation can be challenging and lonely. A major reason for this is that often the intersectionality expert on your committee is… well… you! Moreover, there are few formal opportunities to learn about the complexities of the intersectional dissertation, things like intersectional models and designs, and methodological complexities, particularly if you’re doing a quantitative or mixed methods dissertation. This training is designed to help you navigate the twists and turns of the intersectionality dissertation with tips and strategies to support you wherever you are in the process: conceptualizing your proposal, designing your study, writing the proposal, thinking about how to analyze and interpret your data, or just finishing the thing!
Graduate students, particularly doctoral students at any stage of the intersectional dissertation process.
- Save time! We’ll help you identify strategies to expedite or at least stick to your graduation timeline.
- Avoid getting stuck. Intersectionality research can be complex and overwhelming. We’ll share tips and strategies to keep you on track.
- Find community. Join a supportive community of others working on intersectional dissertations.
- The facilitators, Drs. Lisa Bowleg, and Tiara Willie have many years of experience supervising and serving as members on successful intersectional dissertations committees.
It’s a blend of didactic, interactive, and small group activities focused on these topics:
- The joys and challenges of the intersectional dissertation
- Intersectionality models/designs
- Key methodological strategies and tips for qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods dissertations.
- Developing a manageable timeline
- Strategies for responding to challenges about using intersectionality in your dissertation.
- What could go wrong?: Troubleshooting and pivoting when your dissertation research doesn’t unfold as proposed or expected.
- Small group support, strategy, and resource-sharing activities.
- Dedicated time to ask and get answers to your specific intersectional questions and challenges.
And don’t worry, we’ve built in lots of breaks to ease Zoom fatigue.
- Identify the key components of an intersectional qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods dissertation.
- Develop a plan for a manageable and doable dissertation.
- Confidently defend your choice of intersectionality as a framework for your dissertation

Lisa Bowleg, PhD, MA, Founder and President of the Intersectionality Training Institute is the winner of the 2023 James S. Jackson Memorial Award from the National Institutes of Mental Health, and is nationally and internationally renowned for her research and scholarship advancing intersectionality and health equity. She has published numerous high-impact articles on intersectionality, has served as principal investigator and co-investigator on numerous NIH-funded intersectionality grants, and is a mentor to countless students and faculty conducting intersectionality-related projects.
Tiara C. Willie, PhD, MA, is a Bloomberg Assistant Professor of American Health in the Department of Mental Health at Johns Hopkins University. Her research examines the etiology and health consequences of gender-based violence (GBV) among populations at risk of or currently experiencing violence, domestically and globally. This research investigates individual-, relationship-, community-, and societal-level determinants of GBV victimization and perpetration in order to develop primary interventions. She also examines the impact of GBV victimization on mental, sexual, and reproductive health, in order to develop effective, evidence-based secondary and tertiary interventions. One of Dr. Willie’s most active areas of research examines gender-based violence and its interaction with HIV risk factors and prevention methods using novel epidemiological and implementation science approaches.
If you cancel your enrollment two weeks before the training date, we will provide a full refund, minus a $50 processing fee. There are, however, no refunds after that date.
