As a graduate student at the University of Chicago in the mid-1950s, Edwin McClellan (1925–2009) translated into English the most famous novel of modern Japan, Kokoro (1914), by Natsume Sōseki. This essay tells the story of how the translation emerged from and appealed to a nascent neoliberal movement that was led by Friedrich Hayek (1899–1992), the Austrian economist who had been McClellan’s dissertation advisor.

Katie Geneva Cannon equipped generations of students with analytical tools to reckon with the past and present and to creatively construct previously unimaginable futures. Her body of work teaches us to find new paths as we critically plumb our own historically situated epistemologies and put them in conversation with a variety of traditions. As my teacher, dissertation advisor, and mentor during my graduate studies in religion at Temple University from 1993-2000, Dr. Cannon taught me to examine rigorously my own story in its larger historical and geopolitical contexts, to parse the privileges and perils of pursuing the academic study of religion as a white woman, and to engage deeply with multitudinous ways of knowing.

A Forum for Researchers: Dissertation Publication: The Issue of Joint Authorship

Coercive Pressure

When I served on the editorial board of this journal, there was divided opinion concerning the ethics of joint publication of dissertation research by advisors and advisees. One point of view is that the author of a dissertation is justly entitled to sole responsibility and credit for the work, that the major professor is paid by the university for his or her roll in the activity, and that the true investigator's credit is diminished by sharing author-ship of the published articles. Further, some researchers feel that the sharing of authorship results, at least to some degree, from a kind of subtle but nonetheless coercive pressure on the part of the dissertation advisor. Certainly the advisor's publication list is lengthened and his or her professional stature is thereby enhanced. The graduate institution is identifiable from coauthorship, and its prestige grows incrementally with the successive appearance of such studies. A final point is that studies in an area tend to accumulate, and the evolution of identification in the literature moves toward the major professor, for example, Cronbach and Snow's (1977) discussion of “studies in the Carry series” (p. 284). Such labeling inappropriately suppresses the contributions of Webb (1972) and Eastman (1973).

Prolonged Stress

Abstract Recent studies in different countries indicate that PhD students are more vulnerable to psychological disorders compared to the general population. No such data are available for the Spanish population. This study addresses this issue by studying prevalence rates and factors related to a common response to prolonged stress such as burnout syndrome. Burnout, emotional abilities, resilience, satisfaction with the dissertation advisor, and sociodemographic data were collected from 305 PhD students. The results indicated that the burnout rates are high in this group, especially for the emotional exhaustion dimension. Different linear regression models explained between 14% and 41% of the overall burnout scores variance and its dimensions. The psychological variables and the satisfaction with the dissertation advisor were the most relevant predictors. Consistent with what has been found in other countries, the evidence found indicates that the mental state of PhD students in Spain is alarming. The results of this study have important implications for the design and implementation of interventions to alleviate this problem.

Although the matter I am about to take up might normally be relegated to a footnote, it is so important that I prefer to present it in the text as an introduction. Alec Stone is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Washington completing a dissertation on the Conseil Constitutionnel. During a year in which I was teaching in Paris we conferred a number of times about the dissertation and, subsequent to the return of both of us to the States, I have become a sort of unofficial dissertation advisor.

Selection Of

I arrived as a graduate student at the University of Illinois in the fall of 1961, joining the relatively new Department of Anthropology under the direction of Joseph B. Casagrande. Muriel (Miki) Crespi (nee Kaminsky) had already been a graduate student for a full year. We became fast friends immediately. Shy, timid, quiet, and midwestern, I was not exactly a likely running buddy. But from the beginning, she was my mentor. After all, she was already wiser in the mysteries of graduate school; and as time passed, I came to know her as a wonderfully warm, intelligent woman from New York who also happened to be Jewish. I had never before connected with anyone who was so urbane and effortlessly gregarious. Mick's and my friendship further blossomed in our shared selection of Dr. Casagrande as our dissertation advisor and of Ecuador as our fieldwork area. Early on, Miki knew she wanted to study the impact of land reform on a government-owned hacienda high in the Ecuadorian sierra, working primarily with Indios or campesinos. She saw nothing out of character to live at an elevation of 11,000 feet, nor to speak Quechua. She left Illinois briefly to go to Cornell to learn the rudiments of Quechua. (Later she was devastated to find that the Quechua taught at Cornell was a different dialect altogether.)
