Syracuse University GradcastThe New PhD: How to Build a Better Graduate Education by Leonard Cassuto and Robert WeisbuchGraduate school trains scholars to work at research universities, even though only a small fraction of them will ever gain a permanent position at one of these institutions.

In their recent book, The New PhD, Leonard Cassuto and Robert Weisbuch seek to overturn conventional wisdom in a clarion call for student-centered, career-diverse graduate education. I sat down with the authors, one of whom was an influential figure in my own doctoral program, to hear their take on how to fi...2021-09-0745 min

In The New PhD: How to Build a Better Graduate Education (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2021), Leonard Cassuto and Robert Weisbuch look back at the many attempts, successes and failures to do so since the 1990s. They argue that graduate school has been preparing PhD students for jobs that don’t exist and encouraging students to want those jobs to the detriment of their career success and personal wellbeing. Cassuto and Weisbuch propose what they call a...2021-05-121h 13
