    Dr. Megan Kate Nelson is the co-host now‏ @megankatenelson 24 Feb 2020

    As the PhD program admissions season is upon us, here's my totally unsolicited advice! Unless you have a trust fund: - Do not accept the invitation of any PhD program that does not give you full funding. - If no program offers you full funding, do not go to graduate school.

        Okay, so clearly a lot of folks are interpreting my mention of trust funds as my arguing that only the wealthy should enroll in humanities PhD programs. My argument is, in fact, the opposite. 2/3

        My arg. is that prospective students should only enroll in programs that value them enough to give them full funding - so that all PhDs come out of those programs without debt. This should equalize risk for graduating PhDs, regardless of their socio-economic status going in.

        If you don’t care about all that and are fine with taking on big debt with slim chances of a job on the other side, then okay. Go ahead. Most PhD programs clearly won’t stop you - which is profoundly unethical in my view, but that’s a provocative tweet for another day. 4/3

        I'd add - and make sure you know what their definition of "full funding" means. Does it cover health/vision/dental insurance? Is it actually enough to cover the cost of living in that area? Do you have to pay student fees? Etc etc

        Yes, the fees! Usually not included in the US in tuition and therefore not covered by the funding and therefore also a ballooning cost that is a lot of money. Not a reason not to go necessarily but something to know (and the reason many of us have debt anyway)

        I will also add: if your prospective schools have the opportunity to join a Graduate Employees Union, this can be very beneficial to you. Having that level of representation in a university that relies on graduate student labor is so, so important

        I'd add that prospective students who are able to should think about applying to PhD programs in Nordic countries (and some other places in Europe) as the position is treated as a normal job and you receive a 4 year contract with salary and benefits.

        This one is tricky, as you can only apply to advertised positions. There are a limited number of PhDs - but absolutely, if you apply and get in, 100% take that PhD
