2011-12 Prospective Graduate Students Post #1

2011-07-31T16:59:00.001-04:00

For: Prospective grad students in political theory/philosophy to ask questions about different programs, different specializations, and anything else that might come to mind.

Please note: As has been observed in previous iterations of this topic, it is impossible for this conversation NOT to turn into a comparative discussion of different programs and, thus, the chance that there will be uncivil/unhelpful replies is high. In order to keep the discussion on point, I will moderate with a heavy hand. Personal attacks and unsubstantiated, throwaway criticism of a program or approach will be deleted.

This is just a heads-up to let everyone know that the RM has changed hands.

I'm not going to change much in terms of the way the site is run (I will maintain the no names policy for junior searches), but I would like to encourage people who might, for any reason, be uncomfortable posting to email me at poltheorist@gmail.com with any information they'd like to share. If the information is credible, I'll post it myself (sort of like the IR site did/used to do).

I'll probably wait until after July 4th to post fresh threads for the '09-'10 job season unless there is an unexpected flurry of activity over the next few weeks.

I'd also like to thank my predecessor for all the work s/he did to maintain the site!

I'll therefore moderate with a chainsaw, and cut posts without warning. Please keep this thread civil and helpful to the students.

Additionally, I encourage faculty members from various programs to weigh in on the merits of the advice given.

The "departments" blogs get contentious and personal pretty quickly. We're convinced of the utility of the rumor mill blogs, to democratize access to news and facts. We're not nearly as convinced of the utility of quality-assessment-by-anonymous-blogcomments, though there do seem to be some valuable sub-threads on those blogs. They're clearlyall related phenomena, and probably all permanent new parts of the academic gossip landscape. But we won't be starting any "best theory departments" threads on this blog.
