We Didn’t Get PhDs Just to Sit Around’: Civil Servants’ Good Will Erodes

By Campbell Robertson   Jan. 24, 2019 CLEVELAND — When things overheat, corrode and stop working, that is when they call in Gustavo Costa. It’s a rare expertise, critical to everything from space travel to fracking, and it keeps him in steady demand as a contractor at NASA’s John...

The Habits of Highly Productive Writers

There are no tricks to make writing easier, just practices you can develop to get it done By Rachel Toor  Many writers I know love Joyce Carol Oates—some even refer to her as JCO, as if she were a brand as recognizable as CBS or BMW. But just as often, the mention of her name is...

The Rules of Writing Group

By Claire P. Curtis  It is midweek and I am staring at the draft of a journal article. I just came home from a faculty senate meeting, and we have two job candidates visiting our department this week. I recently returned from a conference, and the semester is at that point where...

A New Series on Scholarly Productivity: ‘Are You Writing?’

One Way to Be a Better Mentor to Grad Students? Try an Advising Statement

By Vimal Patel Few relationships in academe matter more than the one between doctoral candidate and faculty adviser. It’s the incubator of the future professoriate, the heartbeat of the research university. The recent case of Avital Ronell, the star professor at New York...

Advising the Dissertation Student Who Won’t Finish

By Leonard Cassuto OCTOBER 03, 2010 A former graduate student wrote me a note a few months ago to thank me for helping him drop out. What’s wrong with that picture? Nothing, except that we don’t see it often enough. Not every graduate student will finish a...

Advising the Struggling Dissertation Student

By Leonard Cassuto OCTOBER 31, 2010 Last month I wrote in these pages about how to help students decide to leave graduate school. Not all of them, of course—I meant the dissertation writers who just can’t get it done. I was concerned that readers might see that article as...
