A weekly collection of interesting things I find around the Internet. Find something I didn’t? I’d love to hear about it the comments!
Leonard Cassuto of Fordham University implores his colleagues to help graduate students by making leaving a legitimate choice instead of a shameful one.
A new study finds that, hey, class size matters!
Jo VanEvery asks, what is “What are you going to do with that?” is the wrong question?
A real problem of “mentoring” is that it, once again, obscures the emotional work that gets assigned to women.
A few comments about comments
The whole question of being unhappy in academia — no matter what stage you’re in — can feel fraught. If you’d like to comment but are feeling shy about “being out there,” feel free to make up a persona or comment anonymously. You can also email me directly.
First-time commenters are always moderated (because you wouldn’t believe the spam I get), so if your comment doesn’t show up immediately, hang tight! Chances are, I’m not right on my email.
And most of all, let’s all practice compassion for ourselves and others in this difficult time and space.
