For instance, Ellie recently gave an oral presentation at the \u201cPoetics I\u201d panel at the Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association Conference. Her presentation \u201cBeyond Colonial Epistemologies: Pacific Poetic Spatial Practices\u201d reports findings from a \u201cliterary analysis of epistemological practices in contemporary Native Hawaiian women&#8217;s poetry.\u201d Ellie believes that presenting research at conferences is a great way to grow as a scholar: \u201cYou meet other people, engage with dialogue, and push past discomfort. It is an opportunity to keep learning, just like school!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ellie finds that the most challenging aspect of grad school is \u201cliving with [her] research and having to work on a completely different level.\u201d However, Ellie maintains that she was not entirely unprepared, as she had \u201cwonderful advisors who prepared [her] for this, but living it is a different aspect.\u201d Ellie emphasizes that SOU\u2019s <a href=\"\/english\">English program<\/a> \u201crigorously trained\u201d her, with professors like Dr. Alma Rosa Alvarez who helped refine her writing skills, such as vocabulary and grammar. Additionally, Ellie had the opportunity to work with Dr. Alvarez while studying in the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program: \u201cDr. Alvarez really encouraged me during my time at SOU to pursue learning more about Pacific Indigenous poetics. Studying under the McNair program with her in the summer during my undergraduate degree sparked an interest and curiosity that I am still chasing today.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1azjj0tl-bfe84ca5275d03b7cf90c27e7c1f4457\">\n.avia-image-container.av-1azjj0tl-bfe84ca5275d03b7cf90c27e7c1f4457 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-1azjj0tl-bfe84ca5275d03b7cf90c27e7c1f4457 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-1azjj0tl-bfe84ca5275d03b7cf90c27e7c1f4457 av-styling-no-styling avia-align-  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-20'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/Native-American-Studies-Graduate-Student-Association-information-booth.webp 1200w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/Native-American-Studies-Graduate-Student-Association-information-booth-300x169.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/Native-American-Studies-Graduate-Student-Association-information-booth-1030x579.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/Native-American-Studies-Graduate-Student-Association-information-booth-768x432.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/Native-American-Studies-Graduate-Student-Association-information-booth-705x397.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/Native-American-Studies-Graduate-Student-Association-information-booth.jpg\" height=\"675\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/Native-American-Studies-Graduate-Student-Association-information-booth.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/Native-American-Studies-Graduate-Student-Association-information-booth-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/Native-American-Studies-Graduate-Student-Association-information-booth-1030x579.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/Native-American-Studies-Graduate-Student-Association-information-booth-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/Native-American-Studies-Graduate-Student-Association-information-booth-705x397.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"wp-image-103857 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-103857 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Native-American-Studies Graduate Student Association information booth\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mmjdup0g-f72d8bd9b49c58cec36ebfa2e5e26ad0\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-mmjdup0g-f72d8bd9b49c58cec36ebfa2e5e26ad0 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:12px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mmjdup0g-f72d8bd9b49c58cec36ebfa2e5e26ad0 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Pictured Above: Ellie Trahern (left) and others at a Native American Studies Graduate Student Association information booth<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mmjdvc4z-1bc669beff8a4c9f65889481e6f7e8ef\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-mmjdvc4z-1bc669beff8a4c9f65889481e6f7e8ef .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mmjdvc4z-1bc669beff8a4c9f65889481e6f7e8ef '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Ellie\u2019s main goal is to \u201csurvive graduate school,\u201d and she hopes to get \u201cas much as [she] can\u201d out of it by attending conferences, connecting with other scholars, and embracing support from her program.
