Equip students for today's job market
Today’s graduate students face a tumultuous job market. Those pursuing positions in academe enter a work force stricken by layoffs, stagnant salaries, and endangered research funding. Meanwhile, those exploring careers in the private sector may find a dearth of support from their mentors. And changes to visa policies have thrown international students’ employment opportunities into uncertainty.
Universities are tasked with supporting the relationship between faculty members and their advisees, helping students connect their skills to future careers, and reimagining traditional professional development.
“Our graduate-school enterprise exists today in a state of anxiety and reactive tension,” writes Leonard Cassuto in “Doctoral Advising in the Apocalypse.” This collection aims to help educators make sense of this state of anxiety, through essays that offer advice and strategies to help graduate students navigate the rocky path to a career, as well as in-depth reporting on the policies and political upheaval that is affecting students unevenly.
