The Graduate Grind looks closely at the culture of graduate school
in an effort to uncover why graduate students routinely experience
extreme depression, illness, divorce and sometimes even suicide and
murder. What elements provoke the sense of powerlessness and
hopelessness that produces such extreme reactions in students?
Unlike others who consider student suffering and failure an
integral part of a system based appropriately on survival of the
fittest, Hinchey and Kimmel argue instead that too much student
suffering comes from rampant and sanctioned abuse of power.
Examining common assumptions and routines through the lens of
critical theory, the authors question several aspects of graduate
education, including the conception of graduate students as
institutional capital; institutionalized prejudice based on age,
gender, sexual orientation, race and class; and competing power and
value systems. Throughout the book, the authors allow students to
tell their own stories, putting a human face on the results of
abuses generated by unchecked power and privilege.
