POSTPONED Graduate Education: Then, Now, Next Session 3: The U.S. Adaptations of the German Model

Session 3 Overview:

Our second session will continue to focus on the past of American graduate education, looking at perhaps the most formative period in its history. The Ph.D. takes the shape we recognize today in this 50 year window, and so it needs a careful survey.

Series Overview:
Graduate Education: Then, Now, Next focuses on the historical realities, the present pressing issues, and the future of graduate education in North America and globally. We will augment readings and discussion with a rotation of visiting speakers who will address graduate education’s past and present, as well as forward-looking and tactically-oriented discussions of how graduate students can best prepare for the futures in front of them.
