Wordle summary of blog posts: clarity on goals, community, conferences



        
 
      

The wordle provides a summary of my post ideas so far:  
·      Attend conferences, the benefits far outweigh any associated financial and time costs. 
·      Create community with other doctoral students
·      Utilize your existing community as a source of support 
·      Be clear about the goals you have for your dissertation study 
·      Tend to relationships - familial, academic, community/church, research, etc
Today rather than post new ideas, I want to welcome your feedback and questions. 
 What questions would you like me to answer during the month of March? What are some issues you wish to see covered in the blog this month?

  1. I'd like to hear about what the women you mentioned are doing with their degree, or in general, what are the paths taken other than teaching and research (or, more specifically within teaching and research).

  2. The ones I mentioned here are all in academia as faculty and faculty leaders (i.e. dean, program director). People have different reasons for undertaking the doctorate, some want to get into academia (whether as professors or administrators), others use their degrees leading non profits, national and international NGOs, government, etc. Non-academia educational institutions also higher doctorates, as do world bank and UN organizations.
