Abstract
Doctoral students face numerous barriers in the pursuit of their degree (Bieber & Worley, 2006; Cao, 2001). We wanted to discover challenges doctoral students who were full-time teachers faced and how they handled these stressors. We will share our findings through a dramatic enactment, each taking a role (full-time teacher; doctoral student). Through the tapestry of participants’ voices, we wrote a script to embody salient themes. We will share pitfalls and successes related to the study.
