New book is an anthology of narratives from Scholars of Color about traversing doctoral studies in American higher education.

This new book co-edited by Dr. Emerald Templeton, Faculty in Department of Counseling, Dr. Bridget H. Love and Dr. Onda Johnson is aimed at uncovering the unknown and unspoken in traversing doctoral studies, Lessons to a New Generation of Scholars is an insightful, critical, and true-to-heart read for the new intellectual in coming to know their scholarly identity and institutions who are committed to supporting them.

This book shares advice, how-to's, validations, and cautionary tales based on minoritized students' recent experiences in doctoral studies. Providing a change of view from inspirational works framed at the "traditional" graduate student towards the affirmation of marginalized voices, readers are given a look at the multiplicitous experiences of underrepresented identities in the predominantly, and historically, White academy. With the changing landscape of America's institutions of higher education, this book shares tools for navigating spaces intended for the elite. From the personal to professional, these words of wisdom and encouragement are useful anecdotes that speak to the practitioner and academic.
