Muñiz, Wright & Alvarado on Conflicts in Joint JD/PhD Programs

In this episode, Raquel Muñiz, Assistant Professor at Boston College Lynch School of Education and Human Development, Dwayne Kwaysee Wright, Visiting Assistant Professor of Higher Education Administration at the George Washington University, and Rafael Alvarado, a graduate student at Pennsylvania State University, discuss their article, "Joint Identities?: A Self-Case Study of the Professional Identity Development of J.D./Ph.D. Professionals in Education Law," which they co-authored with Vanessa Miller and J. Queen McGrew, and which will be published in the Journal of Law & Education. They begin by explaining the different experience of being a law student and a graduate student in education, and how it creates conflicts that can result in a divided professional identity. They discuss their self-study of that experience, and how it could help schools better integrate those disciplines.
