Someone PLEASE tell me why having "Dr." in front of your name is worth it?
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE grad school, but a lot of folks ask their students not to say "Dr." and while I think I understand...
Why?

I'm also aware that the whole bit about titles is different for balding white men (read: me) than everyone else. It is *easy* for white male instructors to dispense with titles, because society accords us respect anyway.

And so in some ways I think that the folks who drop Dr. - in my own experience, almost universally white male instructors - are unintentionally (to be clear, I think they have good motives) benefiting from a privilege their non-white or non-male colleagues do not have.

I understand that, but I also have to question the reason for university as well. Sure, not every student will become a Roman History scholar, but at least they learn how to write and think, and find their interests, which you and
@MilHist_Lee taught me.Kiitos. Käytämme tätä aikajanasi parantamiseen. KumoaKumoa

For my part, with (undergraduate) students I prefer Dr. <Lastname>. I think preferences here often come down to attitudes about hierarchy and status distinction.
