Some of the most important things you need to know in order to succeed in graduate school—like how to choose a good advisor, how to get funding for your work, and whether to celebrate or cry when a journal tells you to revise and resubmit an article—won’t be covered in any class. They are part of a hidden curriculum that you are just expected to know or somehow learn on your own. In this discussion, Dr. Jessica McCrory Calarco, Associate Professor of Sociology at Indiana University, will explain why the hidden curriculum of grad school stays hidden and how that hiddenness reinforces inequalities in grad school and in academia as a whole. Calarco will also highlight key parts of the hidden curriculum uncovered in A Field Guide to Grad School, discussing how to build a team of effective mentors and how to plan for the job market post-degree.
