I often advise grad students to find a group of colleagues who are ambitious, yet kind and authentic, and commit to driving, encouraging, and championing each other. I didn't realize I also need this as a faculty member until I found it. Now I can't imagine my career without it.

I have seen so much change in very recent years, and actions taking place nationally (for example, AAU PhD Education Initiative) that will further accelerate change. I agree that 1 powerful action to take is reframing one's own mindset: being curious, open-minded.

Provocative and timely op ed from @catsonatardis How can university demonstrate care for PhD students? She has concrete suggestions Grad schools should halt doctoral admissions in the humanities for two years (opinion) insidehighered.com/advice/2020/08…
