Navigating graduate school and academia
Key questions and answers
Alison Mackey | Georgetown University
This chapter takes the form of short answers to questions
posed by graduate students. I lay out some of the questions that I have
encountered most frequently during my two decades working with graduate
students as an advisor, as a Director of Graduate Studies, and as an
instructor of a number of classes, including, currently, a Graduate
Professionalization seminar. I also include some of the questions that are
often asked of me by newly graduated students, in their first faculty
positions. I first provide my own answers to these questions, and then point
to the much more complete and focused information that can be found in many
of the other chapters contained in the current volume.
