A Compilation of Advice for Aspiring Doctoral Students from 30 Catholic Philosophers, Theologians, and Social Scientists
摘要
This chapter provides a compilation of advice given to aspiring doctoral students by 30 Catholic philosophers, theologians, and social scientists—and in particular economists (noting that a non-negligible share of the research on education, including Catholic education, is done by economists). The advice is excerpted from longer interviews I conducted for the Global Catholic Education project ( https://www.globalcatholiceducation.org/ ) with (1) 13 winners of the Expanded Reason Awards (many, but not all of whom are philosophers, theologians, or social scientists); and (2) 17 economists, mostly from universities in the US but also occasionally from Canada and Europe. This chapter offers these interviews as advice because they are a great way to share experiences in an accessible and personal way.
