This autoethnographic poetry collection provides an entry into the socialization of part-time doctoral students by centering the lived experience of the author, a part-time doctoral student employed full-time at the university where she studies. In the writing of this poetry collection, the author sought to enter into conversation with the doctoral socialization literature and to uncover the various parts of her fractured identity. Through an examination of her own fractured identity, the author engages with the places where scholarly identity formation is stalled in part-time doctoral students especially in comparison with their full-time peers and considers affective dimensions of the work of scholarly identity formation.

该民族志诗集以作者的生活经历为中心，为兼职博士生的社会化提供了机会。作者是她在大学学习的全日制兼职博士生。在此诗歌集的写作中，作者试图与博士社会化文献进行对话，并揭示其破碎身份的各个方面。通过检查自己破碎的身份，作者研究了非全日制博士生的学术身份形成停滞的地方，尤其是与全职同龄人相比，并考虑了学术身份形成工作的情感层面。
