Spring semester I'm teaching our on-going seminar for doctoral students that addresses various topics related to being a researcher and, to a lesser degree, teaching. My spring theme: topics that don't get talked about, or not enough, or not frankly enough. SUGGESTIONS WANTED! Some examples: -conflicts over co-authorship -- who's included, how names are ordered -conflicts among collaborators/co-authors -dealing with colleagues who are bullies -reviewing, and responding to reviewers -various problems with students, in class and out. The ordinary ones; and the extraordinary (e.g., stalking) **What were YOU not sufficiently prepared to face when you first finished your PhD?** Or, as a PhD student, what would you want such a seminar to cover? -- -- *********************************************************************************** Nancy Van House Professor, School of Information 102 South Hall #4600 University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720-4600 voice 510.642.0855 fax 510.642.5814 http://www.ischool.berkeley.edu/~vanhouse --------------------------------------------------------------- Office: 307A South Hall ***********************************************************************************
