Round up of tips for PhD students (sociologicalimagination.org)

  • It’s vital to talk to fellow #PhD students, but don’t compare yourself/your work to them/theirs! (@MsEmmaB)
  • Write at least 250words everyday; update your bibliography everyday; follow all interesting avenues (@public_uni)
  • use PhD to meet interesting people, learn skills and get involved in external projects (@DBarnardWills)
  • And travel! (@slewth)
  • never leave until tomorrow what can be done today #PhD and, of course, follow #phdchat 😉 (@NSRiazat)
  • consider highly competitive market w limited jobs avail but baby boomers retiring & expect not to be rich (@DisModern)
  • If you haven’t already, and you’re in the arts, join a reading group. If there isn’t one, then create your own (@miss_patrick)
  • start writing early and keep writing! (@Jess_Guth)
  • never self-censor, record all your ideas and learn to compartmentalise (@mark_carrigan)

I’m not scheduling this for Sociological Imagination till later today so if you have any additions, add them to the comments below or tweet them to me.
