Pearson’s dissertation defense is a formal academic moment. At the defense, she will be expected to cogently and clearly explain her research and how it fits with other scholarship in the field. The defense is a oral presentation to members of her dissertation committee followed by questions from the committee and formal evaluation of the dissertation. The dissertation chair, Dr. Tamara Bertrand Jones, is the owner of this Zoom link and will serve as the moderator for the defense and report the results following the defense. Please ensure your zoom is muted during the defense.
