Sometimes grad school makes about as much sense as feeding Malibu to a puppy…
Hello and welcome! This is a blog about humanities grad school and life after the PhD. Also Japan, food, literature, and more food.
If you’re new here and are considering applying to a humanities grad program, I recommend clicking on the “Good Reasons to Go” and “Bad Reasons to Go” links in the “Pages” section. I do my best to give it to you straight–something that isn’t often true of humanities grad program recruiters.
If you’re a grad student who’s stressed about about finding a job or just trying to figure out what your options are beyond academia, check out the “Grad Life” category, in particular a series of posts entitled “Alternative Academic Careers.” “Postacademic” is also one of my favorite blogs, sadly discontinued now, but a great archive of information for PhD’s employed inside and outside of academia.
If you don’t know where to start, well–the food stuff is fun. And those posts usually have pictures.
Comments and questions are more than welcome–you can also email me at adventuresingradland@gmail.com. Admittedly I don’t check that email address too often, but I try to.
I like reading your blog. I’m an anthropology grad student from the Philippines and I’ve been trying to blog on grad life too.
Thank you, good luck with the blogging!
