This short course adapts Jessica McCrory Calarco's phenomenal book A Field Guide to Grad School: Uncovering the Hidden Curriculum for graduate students in political science. We combine a small amount of lecture with a series of self- and peer-led exercises to help demystify the political science PhD process, illuminate the discipline's "hidden curriculum", and help first through fourth year graduate students be strategic in designing their graduate school experience. Co-taught with Colleen Wood. Slides customized for Columbia University's PhD program and available for Session 1, Session 2, and Session 3, and Session 4.
Paper write up of these courses: "Teaching the hidden curriculum in Political Science," with Colleen Wood. PS: Political Science & Politics (2021).
