Discription:

Navigating academia can seem like a voyage through a foreign land: strange cultural rules dictate
everyday interactions, new vocabulary awaits at every turn, and the feeling of being an outsider is
unshakable. For students considering doctoral programs and doctoral students considering faculty
life, The PhDictionary is a lighthearted companion that illuminates the often opaque customs of
academic life. With more than two decades as a doctoral student, college teacher, and
administrator, Herb Childress has tripped over almost every possible misunderstood term, run up
against every arcane practice, and developed strategies to deal with them all. He combines
current data and personal stories into memorable definitions of 150 key phrases and concepts
graduate students will need to know (or pretend to know) as they navigate their academic careers.
From ABD to white paper&#8212an with buyout, FERPA, gray literature, and soft money in
between&#8212eah entry contains a helpful definition and plenty of relevant advice. Wry and
knowledgeable, Childress is the perfect guide for anyone hoping to scale the ivory tower.
