“This powerful collection reveals many facets of the humanities PhD in the 21st Century. The editors and authors beckon readers to attune themselves to engrained disciplinary biases that stifle opportunity and innovation, and to remember that the well-worn narratives about challenges in the humanities often obscure local possibilities.” — Julie R. Posselt ― author of Inside Graduate Admissions: Merit, Diversity, and Faculty Gatekeeping
“This book provides an invaluable resource for humanities PhDs struggling to find their way in an incredibly challenging graduate school climate. This is a necessary book that I recommend enthusiastically to students and faculty members alike.” — Greg M. Colon Semenza ― Professor of English, University of Connecticut, Storrs
