Jessica Gall
Myrick
Professor of Communications
Book Title: Persist
Author: Elizabeth Warren
Selection Statement:
My journey toward promotion to full professor at Penn State happened to coincide with the 2020 presidential election, where one candidate’s story resonated with me on many levels. Elizabeth Warren is an academic, mom, and dog lover who uses her life experiences and social science skills to try to make the world a better place. I listened to her read the audio version of this book while feeding newborn twins and returning work emails during one of my maternity leaves, and it helped me to persist.
