This week on the blog: Should you go to graduate school - more specifically, should you go to graduate school in one of the academic (rather than professional) disciplines of the humanities? I love the humanities, but I'm sorry to say the answer is no.https://acoup.blog/2021/10/01/collections-so-you-want-to-go-to-grad-school-in-the-academic-humanities/ …
So my stipend never put me below the federal poverty line for a single individual (which is just $12,880 a year), which is why I hedge my terms.

Oh right, I wasn't even thinking of the official federal guidelines, because of how poorly that captures actual poverty. I was thinking of the definitions used in that financial stress survey, which evaluated stuff like food bank usage, medical expenditure difficulties, etc.

I often feel bad complaining about my crappy stipend because - as I suspect people have picked up on - I *do* have external financial support, both in the form of a spouse who is employed and also a family which can provide a 'safety net' if things went bad (not yet required).
