Call for Submissions: Grad Student Chronicles, an APA blog series
edited by the Graduate Student Council

The Graduate Student Council (GSC) of the American Philosophical Association (APA) is calling for posts to publish as part of the Grad Student Chronicles blog series on the Blog of the APA. The purpose of this blog is to serve as space for graduate students to come together, to share, to listen, to reflect, to empathize, and to learn from one another. We also hope faculty and administrators will listen to the hopes, fears, and needs articulated in these posts, and act in ways to support the graduate student community.

Topics may include but are not limited to:

Lived Experiences of Graduate Student Life

● Graduate student labor issues
● Navigating financial/time pressures
● Planning, writing, and defending a thesis, prospectus, and/or dissertation
● Negotiating advisor/student communication and communication with one’s committee
● Coursework and research requirements
● Attending conferences and workshops and presenting online
● Job market preparation and challenges
● Parenting while attending graduate school
● Disability and access in graduate programs
● International student concerns

Post submissions should be emailed to apa.gradstudentchronicles@gmail.com and prepared for blind review. In the body of the email please include the following contact information: your full name, institutional affiliation, and a brief biography (2-3 sentences). Submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Shorter posts are strongly encouraged and posts should not exceed 2,000 words.
