Retrospective: Benefits of a PhD
Thanks for agreeing to share your experiences! Zeb, Chris and Vay are soliciting stories to include in a piece we're contributing to an edited volume about higher ed careers and career change. Our focus is on people who have spent 5+ years outside higher ed OR who came to their PhD later in their careers.

Please be as detailed as you like in your responses. If we have any questions about your answers, we may follow up for a live chat. If you prefer to conduct a phone or video interview, email us and we'll set up time.
