In the Spirit of Stackhouse

When I attended Regent College as a graduate student, I remembered attending John Stackhouse's sessions for prospective PhD students. In the spirit of Stackhouse, I have put together a session at UTC for students considering graduate school. Below is our ad.

Graduate School, The Academic Job Market,

& The Life of Young Professors

If you re you considering graduate school in English studies, history, philosophy, or religion, consider the following questions:

What is graduate school “really like”?

What does it take to write a thesis (for an MA) or a dissertation (for a PhD)?

What is the current job market like for academic positions? What does an individual need to do to secure a faculty job in academia?

What is it like to be a young professor, teaching at a university? What does an average day, week, month, and year look like?

These questions and more will be answered on Thursday, March 21, from 3:00pm to 4pm in Holt 307.

The Panelists:

            Brian Ribeiro (Philosophy)

            Talia Welsh (Philosophy)                                         

            Steve Eskildsen (Religion)

            Jonathan Yeager (Religion)
