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 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. He
combines current data and personal stories into memorable
definitions of 150 key phrases and concepts graduate students will
need to know (or pretend to know) as they navigate their academic
careers. From ABD to white paper--and with buyout, FERPA, gray
literature, and soft money in between--each entry contains a
helpful definition and plenty of relevant advice. Wry and
knowledgeable, Childress is the perfect guide for anyone hoping to
scale the ivory tower.
