Please excuse the burst of posts, but I want to share an update.
Over the course of this semester, I’ll be revamping our modules. Nothing currently available is going away. The existing modules will remain live and fully accessible. That said, after nearly a year of writing and refining my approach to doctoral research, it’s time to produce a clearer, tighter 2.0 version of the curriculum.
Tentatively, the new structure will consist of nine modules, each with a streamlined layout:
Lecture → Practicum → Reading List
Here’s the working module sequence:
Module 1: On Doctoral Education and Research
Module 2: On Navigating Institutional Requirements
Module 3: On Topic Development
Module 4: On the Literature Review
Module 5: On Research Design and Methodology
Module 6: On Ethics and Implementation
Module 7: On Data Analysis and Interpretation
Module 8: On Defense and Graduation
Module 9: On Post-Doctoral Praxis (i.e., publishing, career advancement, etc.)
One additional note: this has already been part of our broader offering, but as more of you move into data collection, I’ll begin hosting monthly-ish data analysis workshops (qualitative and quantitative). I’ll also likely invite guest scholars to lead some of these sessions.
More to come, but I’m excited about where this is heading as we continue building this community into something closer to a doctoral guild than a typical “program.”
