Enrolled in Graduate Education
At the doctoral level, you are being prepared to advance the state of knowledge in the discipline through research, to synthesize that knowledge in relation to other bodies of knowledge, to teach and otherwise communicate that knowledge to various publics, and to apply that knowledge in professionally responsible and publicly beneficial ways. Ideally, you are being prepared, in other words, to be a scholar and steward of your discipline. Some of you may be mentored quite well by your graduate faculty; unfortunately, some of you may not be. In any event, take initiative and seek out faculty who know you and your work, and explore with them interests that you have for your career, at least in planning your more immediate post-graduate years. The following resources may be helpful.
The Preparing
Future Faculty program is a comprehensive approach to doctoral education
that exposes graduate students to the array of roles and responsibilities
awaiting them as the professorate of the 21st Century. |
