America's Graduate Adviser: A Conversation with Leonard Cassuto

Join Leonard Cassuto (author of Academic Writing as if Readers Matter (forthcoming), The New PhD and The Graduate School Mess, among many other books) and Ph.D. student Hellen Wainaina to discuss graduate education's past, present, and future.

Their wide-ranging conversation touches on graduate student-centered graduate education, mentorship, academic employment, teaching in a global context, writing for the public, tenure, PhDs as "information specialists," academic freedom (and academic responsibility), how universities can help prepare graduate students for a range of careers, and much more!
