Greetings, Dissertation Demystified! Here is another great week to keep those intellectual discussions going! This week's office hours have been posted in the calendar: Tuesday the 3rd at 7:00 PM EST Saturday the 7th at 2:00 PM EST Please let me know in this thread whether you plan to attend and what you would like to discuss. You could also pop in to say hello! Have a great week ahead.

Hi, everyone! My name is Lakievia "Lucky" Johnson. Feel free to call me Lakievia or Lucky because I answer to both (use the name easier for you to say and remember). Thanks for having me in the community. I am a doctoral candidate at Liberty University, and I am finishing the Doctor of Strategic Leadership degree. In my program, there are four courses we have to take as doctoral candidates: BMAL887, BMAL888, BMAL889, and BMAL890, which are all semester long courses, and I just started BMAL888 this month. In this course, one of the biggest tasks to complete is the literature review, so I am working on that now. I look forward to being a resource, collecting resources, and learning, growing, and connecting with all of you. Much Success!

Please excuse the burst of posts, but I want to share an update. Over the course of this semester, I’ll be revamping our modules. Nothing currently available is going away. The existing modules will remain live and fully accessible. That said, after nearly a year of writing and refining my approach to doctoral research, it’s time to produce a clearer, tighter 2.0 version of the curriculum. Tentatively, the new structure will consist of nine modules, each with a streamlined layout: Lecture → Practicum → Reading List Here’s the working module sequence: Module 1: On Doctoral Education and Research Module 2: On Navigating Institutional Requirements Module 3: On Topic Development Module 4: On the Literature Review Module 5: On Research Design and Methodology Module 6: On Ethics and Implementation Module 7: On Data Analysis and Interpretation Module 8: On Defense and Graduation Module 9: On Post-Doctoral Praxis (i.e., publishing, career advancement, etc.) One additional note: this has already been part of our broader offering, but as more of you move into data collection, I’ll begin hosting monthly-ish data analysis workshops (qualitative and quantitative). I’ll also likely invite guest scholars to lead some of these sessions. More to come, but I’m excited about where this is heading as we continue building this community into something closer to a doctoral guild than a typical “program.”
