phdhope2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Really guys I don't think going to PSR/PSJR for advice is such a brilliant idea. I know I am not the one who should be lecturing on this considering my indecisiveness, but I've never gone there for advice (I came to Gradcafe). Take it from someone who has already written a proposal - you should only discuss this with your advisor and bounce ideas off of your cohort. If you are entering a US school, then you have TWO years to come up with a proposal, so no need to freak out! Plus, people on PSR/PSJR are just giving you really broad research areas, which does not help you much. Seriously, "global governance," "migration," "corruption," "human security," "nuclear proliferation," etc. are all too broad. A thesis needs to be narrow! You can't go to your advisor and say "I want to write on global governance." LOL. Going to graduate school is something that you should ENJOY. It seems as though people are going to graduate school focusing on all of the wrong things. Making your thesis marketable...seriously. Look at the key pieces in IR theory I can assure you they were not the "thing" to talk about when they were published. Edited April 23, 2013 by phdhope2013 Quigley 1
wtncffts Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Um, is this supposed to be a response to something? Not that I don't agree with all your points; I think they're pretty spot on (ESPECIALLY PSJR - that site is so broken). Just wondering if this was meant to be in another thread.

phdhope2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Posted April 23, 2013 Sorry about the confusion and thanks for posting the link Quigley! That is the post that I was referring to.
Tupamaros Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) I think phdhope2013 is referencing this post: http://www.poliscirumors.com/topic/hot-topics-in-ir Yeah, not exactly the most constructive of threads. Also, the OP didn't do himself/herself any favours in the general way they framed that question. ''Czech politics and the roots of terrorism'' - this made me giggle, though.

sabine Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Does anyone use it as a resource? Edited February 20, 2018 by merhersam
