Funded PhDs on Social Research in "Just" (as in justice) Technology with ESC at the University of Michigan
Dear AoIR colleagues, I decided to go to grad school when one of my profs suggested it. I was not very clear about what a PhD was. That conversation changed my life. I'm writing to ask you to consider having this conversation with your promising students right now. It's that time of year. It's a little personally embarrassing, but in order to improve our outreach to prospective students I've been experimenting with video. My video is a little bit like a late-night TV ad for a used-car lot, except I'm advertising getting a PhD in Information OR Communication & Media with my lab group. Here it is: https://lab.csandvig.people.si.umich.edu/join/ Some additional details: Infra.Lab is a multi-disciplinary research group at the University of Michigan dedicated to “just” technology (as in justice) at the ESC Center. We investigate the intermingled social and technical aspects of computing and digital media technologies and their implications for society. Our approaches include human-computer interaction; science and technology studies; policy research on politics, laws, and institutions; design; software development; artistic practice; and more. Our recent work has focused on racial and gender discrimination by algorithmic systems, negative consequences of targeted advertising, inequality and social media use, and the future of technology policy. We are recruiting prospective Ph.D. students with interests in tech and human rights, civil rights, social justice, racial justice, and inequality. We are building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community. We particularly want applications from people who are interested in addressing the perspectives or needs of groups that have been historically underserved by academic research, computing, and digital media. - The deadline is usually December 1 every year. - The GRE exam isn’t required. - If the application fee (US$70-90) is a barrier to your application, we will waive the fee. Write to the relevant graduate program’s email address (see link above) for help with this. - The Ph.D. is full-time. Part-time degrees are not possible. - The Ph.D. takes about 4 years to complete. Usually the first 2 years involve mostly coursework, the last 2 years involve mostly research. - You do not have to pay tuition to get a Ph.D. Successful applicants are paid for 4 years as apprentice teachers and/or researchers. During this time you will make about US$45,000 per year for about 8 months of work each year. Summer funding is also possible. You also receive health, life, and dental insurance. - You don’t need a master’s degree to apply, but it may help you stand out from other applicants. - You DO need a bachelor’s degree to apply, but it does not have to be in these particular fields. You can apply with any bachelor’s degree if you make the case that you have some relevant background or experience. - We offer additional funding and incentives to those students whose admission will reduce disparities in graduate education. You do not need to apply separately for this funding, you will automatically be considered. - You do not need to be a US Citizen to be admitted, or to receive the funding described here. International students are common. - Either qualitative or quantitative skills/interests are relevant to us. - You do not need to be a computer programmer. - You do not need to have gone to a fancy school for your undergraduate degree. There is more information at the URL above. Please feel free to forward this email. Sincerely, Christian -- Christian Sandvig Director, Center for Ethics, Society, and Computing (ESC) H.

Dear AoIR colleagues, I sent this email out at about this time last year and I received some positive feedback from it so I thought I would send it again this year. I decided to go to grad school when one of my profs suggested it. At that time I was not very clear about what a PhD was. That conversation changed my life. If you are a professor I'm writing to ask you to consider having this conversation with your promising students right now. If you are a student, maybe there is no prof like that who can have this conversation with you, so please feel free imagine that I'm having it with you. We are recruiting in my PhD program ( https://lab.csandvig.people.si.umich.edu/join/). One of the challenges for prospective Ph.D. students, especially those from groups that are underrepresented in doctoral education, is simply that it is hard to figure out how Ph.D. programs work in plain language. Here's how our Ph.D. program works -- many US institutions work the same way: - The deadline is usually December 1 every year. - The GRE exam isn’t required. - If the application fee (US$70-90) is a barrier to your application, we will waive the fee. Write to the relevant graduate program’s email address for help with this. - The Ph.D. is full-time. Part-time degrees are not possible. - The Ph.D. takes about 4 years to complete. Usually the first 2 years involve mostly coursework, the last 2 years involve mostly research. - You do not have to pay tuition to get a Ph.D. Successful applicants are paid for 4 years as apprentice teachers and researchers. During this time you make about US$23,000 per year for about 8 months of work. Summer funding is also possible. You receive health, life, and dental insurance. - You do not need to be a US Citizen to be admitted. International students are common. You do not need to be a US Citizen to have your tuition paid and receive the money described just above. - You don’t need a master’s degree to apply, but it may help you stand out from other applicants. - You do need a bachelor’s degree to apply, but it does not have to be in a particular field. You can apply with any bachelor’s degree if you make the case that you have some relevant background or experience. - Ph.D. students are adults. It is completely OK to return to school for the Ph.D. after working. - There is additional funding for students whose admission will reduce disparities in graduate education. You do not need to apply separately for this funding, but you must mention the relevant circumstances in your application, for instance in your personal statement. As one example, additional resources may be available if you are a US citizen, green card holder, or DACA and you: - have an educational, cultural, or geographic background that is underrepresented - have demonstrated a commitment to diversity - have experienced financial hardship - are the first in your family to graduate from a four-year college - are the first in your family to be a US Citizen - It’s OK if you don’t e-mail your prospective advisor(s) in advance, or if you do e-mail them and they don’t respond. Your application will still be considered seriously. A lot of profs don’t answer these e-mails because they receive so many, or they only reach out only to admitted Ph.D. students not prospective ones.

Yes ... but a quick addition ... some universities do offer PhDs on a *part-time* basis, not just to full-time students. That might be worth adding as people in challenging circumstances (caregivers, and those with intersectional, physical, and income challenges) often work more than one job and/or have demands that put the luxury and joy of studying full-time out of reach. This is a painful reality for many, but as you so inspiringly point out, there are ways to get the education you deserve!

I'd like to add that, as a first step, it's important to encourage some students to consider a Master's degree. I, too, hope we nurture some gems towards a PhD. But consider three factors... Any form is grad school is beyond the imagination of some students, particular many first-generation college students for whom getting in to college was the goal. Their vision and ambition, of getting in and attending college, may or may not have looked as far ahead as *completing* the BA, much less anything beyond that. A PhD will seem to many of them an insurmountable, unreachable farce of a suggestion. By expanding their consciousness to include the possibility that they might get a Master's, yes, some will eye and enter terminal Master's - and that's not a terrible thing. Anyone who gains additional training, education, work experience, etc. improves their self-awareness and potential social contributions, in addition to their marketability. And the marginal ROI on a BA may be diminishing, as market expectations that someone has more increase. Last but not least, entry to a PhD program in some fields often de facto requires a Master's degree from elsewhere. I know a handful of cohorts of Sociology students, at several California universities, where 11 of 12 accepted and enrolled already had a terminal MA from elsewhere. Maybe that's just a correlate of other factors that made them better candidates - but the very high (and seemingly consistent) ratio implies that doctoral programs may be looking for, at least selecting for, that additional preparation. -eg

Here's how our Ph.D. program works -- many US institutions work the same way:
- The deadline is usually December 1 every year. - The GRE exam isn’t required. - If the application fee (US$70-90) is a barrier to your application, we will waive the fee. Write to the relevant graduate program’s email address for help with this. - The Ph.D. is full-time. Part-time degrees are not possible. - The Ph.D. takes about 4 years to complete. Usually the first 2 years involve mostly coursework, the last 2 years involve mostly research. - You do not have to pay tuition to get a Ph.D. Successful applicants are paid for 4 years as apprentice teachers and researchers. During this time you make about US$23,000 per year for about 8 months of work. Summer funding is also possible. You receive health, life, and dental insurance. - You do not need to be a US Citizen to be admitted. International students are common. You do not need to be a US Citizen to have your tuition paid and receive the money described just above. - You don’t need a master’s degree to apply, but it may help you stand out from other applicants. - You do need a bachelor’s degree to apply, but it does not have to be in a particular field. You can apply with any bachelor’s degree if you make the case that you have some relevant background or experience. - Ph.D. students are adults. It is completely OK to return to school for the Ph.D. after working. - There is additional funding for students whose admission will reduce disparities in graduate education. You do not need to apply separately for this funding, but you must mention the relevant circumstances in your application, for instance in your personal statement. As one example, additional resources may be available if you are a US citizen, green card holder, or DACA and you: - have an educational, cultural, or geographic background that is underrepresented - have demonstrated a commitment to diversity - have experienced financial hardship - are the first in your family to graduate from a four-year college - are the first in your family to be a US Citizen - It’s OK if you don’t e-mail your prospective advisor(s) in advance, or if you do e-mail them and they don’t respond. Your application will still be considered seriously. A lot of profs don’t answer these e-mails because they receive so many, or they only reach out only to admitted Ph.D. students not prospective ones.

I'd like to add that, as a first step, it's important to encourage some students to consider a Master's degree. I, too, hope we nurture some gems towards a PhD. But consider three factors... Any form is grad school is beyond the imagination of some students, particular many first-generation college students for whom getting in to college was the goal. Their vision and ambition, of getting in and attending college, may or may not have looked as far ahead as *completing* the BA, much less anything beyond that. A PhD will seem to many of them an insurmountable, unreachable farce of a suggestion. By expanding their consciousness to include the possibility that they might get a Master's, yes, some will eye and enter terminal Master's - and that's not a terrible thing. Anyone who gains additional training, education, work experience, etc. improves their self-awareness and potential social contributions, in addition to their marketability. And the marginal ROI on a BA may be diminishing, as market expectations that someone has more increase. Last but not least, entry to a PhD program in some fields often de facto requires a Master's degree from elsewhere. I know a handful of cohorts of Sociology students, at several California universities, where 11 of 12 accepted and enrolled already had a terminal MA from elsewhere. Maybe that's just a correlate of other factors that made them better candidates - but the very high (and seemingly consistent) ratio implies that doctoral programs may be looking for, at least selecting for, that additional preparation. -eg

Thanks Paula, absolutely! I meant for you to take my list and modify it for your institution. The selfish reality is that I am also trying to recruit applicants to my particular PhD programs with this list, so it describes my program. But feel free to steal the text and modify as necessary!

Yes ... but a quick addition ... some universities do offer PhDs on a *part-time* basis, not just to full-time students. That might be worth adding as people in challenging circumstances (caregivers, and those with intersectional, physical, and income challenges) often work more than one job and/or have demands that put the luxury and joy of studying full-time out of reach. This is a painful reality for many, but as you so inspiringly point out, there are ways to get the education you deserve!

I sent this email out at about this time last year and I received some positive feedback from it so I thought I would send it again this year. I decided to go to grad school when one of my profs suggested it. At that time I was not very clear about what a PhD was. That conversation changed my life. If you are a professor I'm writing to ask you to consider having this conversation with your promising students right now. If you are a student, maybe there is no prof like that who can have this conversation with you, so please feel free imagine that I'm having it with you.
