商品簡介
Navigating academia can seem like a voyage through a foreign land: strange cultural rules dictate everyday interactions, new vocabulary awaits at every turn, and the feeling of being an outsider is unshakable. For students considering doctoral programs and doctoral students considering faculty life, The PhDictionary is a delightful and lighthearted companion that illuminates the often opaque customs of academic life.
With more than two decades as a doctoral student, college teacher, and administrator, Herb Childress has tripped over almost every possible misunderstood term, run up against every arcane practice, and developed strategies to deal with them all. Wry and knowledgeable, he is the perfect guide for anyone hoping to scale the ivory tower.
In The PhDictionary, Childress pairs current research with personal stories to explain 150 key phrases and concepts graduate students will need to know (or pretend to know) as they navigate their academic career. FromABD to white paper and with terms like buyout, FERPA, gray literature, andsoft money in between, each entry contains a clear definition and plenty of relevant advice. The book can be read cover to cover or kept on hand as a reference for consultation and commiseration.
Often funny, sometimes sobering, and always enlightening, The PhDictionary lays open what current and prospective graduate students are walking into, with encouragement on how to position themselves for the contest ahead. The book is equally frank with faculty members and administrators on their responsibilities to the new generation of students. While academia may always be a second language, this book provides the insider’s guide to faking it until making it.
