Fall Snapshot: Depending on Christ

November 11, 2016 by Anonymous Leave a Comment

This summer, we pioneered a new Summer Snapshot series that shared brief reflections  from people in our network on their experience this summer. The series was so well received we've decided to expand it to other seasons. We're delighted to share this Fall Snapshot from an emerging scholar in psychology. Written a bit earlier this fall, this piece is deeply relevant as November busyness takes off.   As an aspiring psychologist, I was recently in a training session that taught us how to validate clients' … [Read more...] about Fall Snapshot: Depending on Christ

Summer Snapshot: The Secret of Solitude

July 26, 2016 by Galina Pylypiv 1 Comment

Galina Pylypiv connected with the Emerging Scholars Network (ESN) at Urbana15, where she served as part of the liveblogging team. See some of her previous work here, and browse other Summer Snapshots here.   Same setting yet different pace of life. A transition from being an undergraduate student to graduate student at the same university is a place of mixed feelings. As I'm utilizing my summer by starting a research project, the reality of large time commitment is becoming very tangible for me as I realize how … [Read more...] about Summer Snapshot: The Secret of Solitude

Processing your PhD: on next-ness

July 24, 2016 by Will Mari Leave a Comment

What's it actually like when you finally finish a PhD? Recent PhD grad Will Mari wraps up  his series on life after graduate school, Processing Your PhD. See posts on finishing  here, teaching  here, and further thoughts on being done  here.   I'm sitting in my office on a quiet, mid-summer afternoon, and my campus is silent. Sure, I hear the clunk-clunk of apples rolling off the roof above my office (outside an ancient tree stands vigil, and is raining forth its bounty early). We have a few summer camps going … [Read more...] about Processing your PhD: on next-ness
