  1. That's very odd! I have never heard or seen something like that. And usually, when you apply for a PhD, your proposal isn't set in stone, so it's normal that in the course of your degree, the scope of your topic evolves...
  2. I will know by Friday if I made the cut at my institution for the Trudeau Foundation Doctoral Scholarship. I'm nervous.
  3. Mine was also 20 minutes. It went well, but I definitely felt like I did not have enough data to present because I was very early into my research project. I guess I would've liked to have more data to present. However, if you have something to present, even if it's not complete, don't hinder yourself from having an opportunity to present.
  4. Brother Down (a Sam Roberts band song. I love it!)
  5. I submitted my master's thesis tonight. Now, one month of waiting before I know if I pass or fail.
  6. I may have a book contract (nothing official yet) on my thesis topic. The editor suggested that I co-author the book along with an experienced researcher (I immediately thought of my supervisor). I have explained the project to my supervisor. But waiting for her answer makes me very anxious. Maybe she'll be too busy or not interested...
  7. Wow. So many (complete) strangers trying to discourage me from pursuing a PhD. Total strangers, people I have barely spoke to. (The word got around that I have been accepted in a PhD). It just pushes me to prove them wrong. Nobody in my family, friends, colleagues and supervisors (current and futur) doubt of my abilities (personal and intellectual) to succeed in a doctoral program. And if I do get Vanier, hell yeah I'll tell these people that I got the most prestigious doctoral scholarship in the country. People seem to think that just because I am young, been raised by a single mother, etc, that I can't succeed. F*ck them.
  8. Instead of reminding myself that I have been single my whole life tonight, I will go work on an article and study instead, after submitting my master's thesis.
  9. You should make a complaint and explain that it led you to cancel your visit. This is so unacceptable.
  10. Fellow WoC here and also a first-generation university student. I feel you. You're not alone!
  11. I have an interview for a social work job this Friday, and I have zero idea what to expect.
  12. I am submitting my master's thesis this week (heading to PhD this September). I hope I'll pass, otherwise I'm screwed!
  13. I will be submitting my master's thesis before next Friday (Feb 15). Nervous because I am going to wait 4 weeks before getting my mark (passed or not passed).
  14. Anyone here heard back from their uni regarding the internal selection?
  15. I totally agree with you. I had a prof that stressed the importance of having more social work researchers.
  16. I'd like to teach in college and/or university and do research. But if that doesn't happen, I guess I can do research for the government or a think tank or something like that.
