blog posts
Here’s how our blog works: Each month, we invite scholars to share reflections on their experiences in graduate school and how they’ve navigated key challenges such as funding, mentorship, work-life balance, and other unspoken norms that shape academic life.
Our first post introduces the Hidden Curriculum, why it matters, and how we plan to engage with it as a community. While that piece is more formal, future posts reflect a range of voices and formats based on what resonates with our readers. Have a topic you’d like to see covered? Take our survey here.
