ABSTRACT
Although I should have gotten my PhD in ––––––, I was advised early on in my graduate study that I would have a much easier time doing a dissertation in the education department, especially since I already had a vision of what I wanted to write about. I took this advice, although I took many courses in my discipline and got an MA in it…. Compared with many of my fellow students, I had a relatively easy time of getting a very alternative dissertation approved and completed.
