DRPP sponsors and helps to coordinate a dissertation network to support PhD candidates who are actively working on dissertations related to diversity-related topics (broadly defined). Although the majority of network participants are working toward degrees in education or psychology, graduate students in other disciplines and fields are welcome. Members of the group set the agenda for meetings and most often meetings are held on an as needed basis. Members discuss the dissertation process, develop strategy regarding issues related to writing, and provide feedback on proposal defense and final oral presentations.
