oiseauaudio Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Okay, so I did steal this idea from humanprovince in the Political Science thread, but only because I think it's a great idea. What are you reading now, in preparation for grad school in the fall? Some books in my to-read pile: Cultivating Humanity- Nussbaum Age of Empires- Hobsbawm Age of Extremes- Hobsbawm Discipline & Punish- Foucualt (re-read!) Thanks everyone!

FingersCrossedX Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I've been out of school for so long that I need to start reading journal articles again. I've been reading for fun for the last 4 years. I have to relearn to read dense dry research. And I wonder why I haven't gotten started on that.

t_ruth Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I had asked my advisor for a reading list before I started. He gave me a three page list, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erbrown Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I am reading a book called "Getting What You Came For: The Smart Student's Guide to Earning an MA or PhD" by Robert L. Peters PhD. It is a very easy and straightforward read that is chock full of common sense. Some of the topics are more germane for individuals who already working on a PhD but I am thinking it has sunk in and will resurface when I am approaching that milestone.

What are you reading now, in preparation for grad school in the fall? Some books in my to-read pile: I wouldn't say I'm reading for preparation, but here is what I am currently working on: The Lost Soul of Higher Education - Ellen Schrecker Teachers as Cultural Workers - Paulo Freire Lives on the Boundary - Michael Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might also consider Not for Profit by Nussbaum. It's a quick read and you can mine its bibliography for a lot of interesting ed stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
