@PublicsLab director @catsonatardis and faculty lead @biancaphd have a new piece on the future of humanities doctoral education out today in the @LAReviewofBooks!
"These provocations are about centering justice, student needs, and the public good over faculty interests, institutional demands, or disciplinary legacies." @catsonatardis and @biancaphd call for a radical reimagining of the project of graduate education. lareviewofbooks.org/article/…
