Nadine’s coaching helped me acknowledge my power and stop giving it away to the harmful and toxic academic-industrial complex. Nadine helped me minimize my reaction to what others think about me by helping me learn to empower myself with what uplifts and nourishes me, to make the worries smaller, and remember why I do what…
“Liberate Your Research” helped me understand how and why my research and research by other minoritized scholars is devalued by traditional academic structures – and how to proudly articulate the rigor, innovation, and worth of our work in the face of gatekeepers seeking to deny it.
Sarah M. Peitzmeier, Assistant Professor, Health Behavior and Biological Sciences, University of Michigan
As Program Chair for the Association of Feminist Anthropology, I helped to host Nadine in leading her Liberate Your Research Workshop for our membership. The hunger for this kind of gathering was immediately apparent in the number of enthusiastic applications we received. At the workshop, participants across different career stages connected through Nadine’s thoughtful prompts…

Nadine is incredibly skilled at helping scholars articulate what is unique and impactful about their projects. I ended Nadine’s workshop with a clear sense of where I am heading with my research and why it was necessary. This was a true gift!
Charlotte Karam Albrecht, Associate Professor, Inclusive Human Resource Systems, University of Ottawa
Nadine’s workshop helped me articulate pragmatic and conceptual consequences of my work and was the first space I’ve ever been encouraged to claim and shape my own conceptual approach. The workshop coached me to realize where I get stuck and examine it as an interesting problem to explore in itself, rather than feeling “wrong” and…

One of the best decisions I’ve ever made was clicking on a link that a Woman of Color faculty member shared on social media promoting Nadine Naber’s work. I reached out to Nadine not necessarily knowing on what I wanted us to focus but inspired by the statement on her website, “I believe every person…
Lisa Ortiz, Assistant Professor, Teaching, Learning, and Reading, University of Pittsburgh
As the Director of the Social Justice major, I was interested in this workshop as our program is committed to de-imperializing the academy and following liberatory structures and supporting new faculty of color. But it is hard to describe what it is like to attend a workshop led by one of your academic heroes. this…
Kimberly Segall, Professor, English and Cultural Studies, Seattle Pacific University
Nadine’s “Liberate Your Research” workshop influenced me more than I could have imagined. She created an authentic and welcoming space, deftly guiding participants to connect with their research and each other. I have found myself thinking about, defining, and shaping my methodology in deeper and clearer ways. I’m charting my path in a way that…
Traci Levy, Associate Professor, Political Science, Adelphi University
Nadine’s patience, creativity and compassion sparked many “fires” of writing possibilities and projects/opportunities for me. I am excited about writing after ages!
Meghna Bhat, PhD
Nadine’s understanding and enactment of feminist pedagogy, while focused on the content, are truly inspirational and even heartwarming. Nadine’s presentation on self-healing along with the encouragement and insightful feedback for reconceptualizing the frameworks/lenses through which we think and write was freeing. It would be wonderful to refashion the academy to reflect such values. If only…!
Judith Touré, Professor Emerita, Education, Carlow University
The Liberate Your Research Workshop was super helpful to me. I learned to take steps to overcome feeling overwhelmed and unqualified to conduct my research and I identified a name for my approach. Nadine’s work is critical for those of us marginalized by academia.
Patricia Zavella, Professor Emerita, Latin American and Latino Studies, University of California Santa-Cruz
I am still enjoying and appreciating the sense of liberation the workshop, time, and community circle created at the workshop provided to me. For a long time, I was not sure if I could do this research well. I wanted to counter the stress and anxiety. So often, I wandered around my research goals, not…
Ga Young Chung, Assistant Professor, Asian American Studies, University of California Davis
Writing my book, I struggled to put forward my arguments beyond their intersections with my own experience as a Palestinian immigrant woman. When Dr. Naber read drafts of my book chapters, her gracious encouragement, comments, and suggestions led me to bluntly assert my ideas and gave me self-confidence as a scholar and researcher. She encouraged…
Enaya Othman, Associate Professor, Arabic Language, Literature, and Culture, Marquette University
Nadine’s workshop helped me liberate my inner voice. I found the workshop to be uplifting. Nadine reminded me of one of the main reasons why I entered academia: to empower my community. The reminder gave me strength to persevere and see the beauty within my community and my work.
Maryam Moeini Meybodi, PhD Student, Graduate School of Education, University of California Berkeley
After I did the workshop with Nadine in the summer of 2020, I’ve been soaring, and I really hope I can now write a book that is off the charts!
