The Dignified Learning Project

?? Navigating academic research, specifically as a PhD student or candidate can feel daunting and isolating—but it doesn’t have to be. Hi, I'm Charlene, and I have a PhD in Education, an MA in Sociology, and a BA in History. I am also a Fulbright U.S. Scholar award recipient for Spring 2025 conducting visual research in Spain, further highlighting my dedication to research and critical perspectives. I’ve spent over 6 years teaching research methods, publishing on community-engaged methodologies and critical approaches, and guiding undergraduate and graduate students as well as doctoral candidates through their research. With my diverse background, I bring a social science expertise and a practical understanding of what it takes to start and finish the social research process. Whether you’re working on research design, proposal writing, or your dissertation, I’m here to offer support tailored to your needs. ?? Let’s make progress together. Contact me at [email protected] or visit https://lnkd.in/gUHpjBAg **Prices on my website are flexible and negotiable; being a student is hard enough. I'm more than willing to discuss a sliding scale or alternatives to what's listed. #AcademicExcellence #ResearchMentor #GradSchoolSupport #DissertationCoach #PhDJourney #CommunityEngagement #GradLife

What have we been up to lately? Well, we launched a new research project focused on visual research. This is facilitated by Dr. Charlene Holkenbrink-Monk, Ph.D. as part of the DLP and the SDSU Sociology Department, and centers student insight, critical reflection, and analysis in a way that encourages public sociology. Want to see some of the work we've been doing as part of our research lab? Head over to Instagram!

We just wanted to share that our updated website URL is https://lnkd.in/grxeuMK9 We did this for a few reasons, but also, quite honestly, the name of our whole organization was quite long as a URL. So, if you've been trying to find us, that's where we're at! #thedlp #dignifiedlearning #dignifiedlearningproject #education

Shout out to Belen and Elena for traveling to Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo to present the amazing work they've been doing with the DLP Research Lab and SDSU's Sociology Department.
