1. 7 Years Later: Surviving Graduate School in Philosophy
This guide offers a systematic approach to graduate school derived from the many posts I've written on The Philosophers' Cocoon over the last 8 years as well as ...
Way back in summer 2011, I spent a lot of time browsing the internet for advice on how to succeed in graduate school, and while there was a lot of good advice scattered about the internet, it mostly existed in only small chunks. Moreover, some bits of advice conflicted with others, so it was hard to determine what perspective was correct when no consensus emerged. What I wanted was a single document that offered a comprehensive approach to graduate school in philosophy - something that synthesized all these bits and pieces of information into a digestible whole. But I could never find this elusive guide.

Although commentators and audience members are encouraged to present objections to papers, a guiding aim of the conference will beconstructive criticism, i.e. helping authors to improve problems (e.g. by not only raising objections, but offering and discussing possible solutions). Because successfully navigating the publishing world is one of the most difficult capacities for early-career philosophers to develop, and typic...
