🎓💔 Thinking about leaving your PhD program (or starting one)? You're not alone! In 2012, I embarked on a journey to earn a PhD in Economics at Duke—fueled by a passion for pushing boundaries and a dream of academic achievement. But, like many, the path wasn't what I expected. I'm re-sharing the post I wrote about the decision to step away from academia, the realities of PhD life, and why sometimes, it's okay to choose a different road. If you're grappling with similar doubts, this might give you the perspective you need! 👉 Dive deeper into my experience and the lessons learned: https://lnkd.in/evQFKJiN #PhDLife #CareerChange #Academia
I left a PhD Program, maybe you should too!

The Sapienza PhD Conference in Social Sciences and Economics has just come to an end, and honestly, I don't know where to start. Participating in conferences, seminars, summer/winter schools is always incredibly worthwhile, but being among the organizers of one of those is truly invaluable. This year, we welcomed 30 presenters and around 40 participants from 13 different universities, representing 7 countries, and I have to say that I rarely found such a high level of quality of the presentations. However, the most rewarding aspect was seeing people enjoy the event, providing and receiving feedback, and behaving like a real community. So, a big thank you to all the participants (and hopefully, future collaborators)! Everything was further enriched by two amazing keynote speeches by Dr. Nicoletta Dante and Prof. Dr. Ausloos Marcel. Many thanks for coming and sharing your expertise with us. It was not easy at all to manage this conference, preparing the call, spreading it around, seeking funding, scheduling the programme, and taking care of all the details at our best. But now I can say that I'm really proud of what we have done. It was possible thanks to the strong ties that my colleagues from Sapienza Università di Roma and I created during these months. So, I am extremely thankful to all of you for your contribution, and especially for your patience! Keep pushing for the next year's edition. Federica Petruccelli Giovanni Maccarrone Davide Emanuele Iannace Francesca Rossi Elena Rossi Espagnet Fausto Libero Barberis Veronica Mammetti Chiara Sciascia. Also, a huge thanks to our department and the secretary's staff that supported us throughout the process. And a special mention to the coordinator of our PhD school, Prof. Roy Cerqueti for believing in an event like this and providing us with the opportunity (and the means) to realize it in the best possible way. As PhDs, we often feel lost about what we're doing. We (reasonably) want our research to be more impactful and concrete. But is there actually anything more real and concrete than exchanging knowledge? #phd #sapienza #conference #socialsciences #economics #research

On the Philosophy of Science: Its a bit of wisdom i learned when i started my PhD and came to mind after a few discussions with friends... The word "PhD" originates from abbreviating two latin words: philosophiae doctor; philosophiae on its own is originally greek and is two words conjoined together: "phileo" denoting loving or liking and "sophia" meaning wisdom. And so a "PhD" entails grasping the subject matter to its full extent that one is able to philosophize about it; in other words that one is able to discuss the wisdom of a subject matter with passion, logic, rigor and reason. For the last century or so a "PhD" degree has been awarded as an acknowledgment of a significant achievment that the nominee has contributed to the subject matter. Its a recognition, by peers, that the awardee is an expert on a given subject and has contributed to its advancement. It is in this regard that PhD degrees are universally equivalent and transcend borders and languages, while Bachelors and Masters degrees not necessarily so. A PhD therefore is awarded and earned, not acquired as a natural progression of one's career nor by means of an academic test, at least not in recent times. Its a journey of contributing to humanity's evolution and growth, its a journey of discovery and like all good things in life, it takes time, effort, curiousity and might not be easy. What one does with an awarded PhD degree is up to the person; however, if one embarks on a PhD as a means to an end, as a stepping stone, or to add a line on their CV, it will be a sad and usually not productive journey- and might end in failure ! Its also somewhat demeaning of all the other fellows who have earned or are earning their PhDs with earnest intentions and for the benefit of mankind, not just their own's. If you have a PhD and are reading this, be sure to remember that you are smart, talented and very worthy of praise for your achievments. If you are doing a PhD, keep your spirits up no matter the set backs or failures, stay curious, happy and enjoy the ride. If you are considering a PhD, well read this again from the beginning.

"HOW TO CRACK PhD ENTRANCE IN CHINESE STUDIES AT JNU: PROVEN STRATEGIES" Are you aspiring to excel in the highly competitive world of academia by pursuing a PhD in Chinese Studies at JNU? As a first-year PhD student in the same field, I've gathered insights that I believe will greatly enhance your preparation and increase your chances of success. Here's a breakdown of what you need to focus on: 1. Master the Research Methodology (RM) Section: The RM section plays a pivotal role in the entrance exam, comprising 50 questions. Devote substantial time to understanding the concepts in this section, particularly the Philosophy of Science. Explore the works of renowned philosophers like Kuhn, Popper, Carr, Feyerabend, and Lakatos. While the sources might vary, these figures tend to recur in various contexts. 2. Area-Specific Questions: For the broader knowledge base, delve into Chinese history, society, geography, and culture. Begin with a solid foundation by reviewing the chronological timeline of Chinese history available on Wikipedia. Then, move on to grasp the political structure and societal dynamics. Study the transformative leadership from Mao to Xi, focusing on their biographies and notable projects and their ideas. (like Xi is known for big projects like BRI and keywords like Chinese dream OR great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. 3. Effective Study Approach: Given that the exam questions are multiple-choice and fact-based, emphasize wide coverage over in-depth analysis. An efficient approach is to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia, which offers a comprehensive overview of critical subjects. This strategy ensures you cover the essential points that the exam assesses. 4. Recommended Resources: As you embark on your journey, consult " Research Methodology: Methods and Techniques" by C. R. Kothari for Research Methodology. Additionally, compile a list of books authored by prominent figures in the field of CHINA. This demonstrates your depth of interest and commitment to rigorous academic study. (Shambaugh, shirk, Naughton, Alastair Iain Johnston ) Remember, preparation is key, and your dedication will undoubtedly set you apart. By focusing on these key areas, you can strategically position yourself to conquer the PhD entrance exam in Chinese Studies at JNU. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my insightful batchmate, Nimisha Kashyap. Without her valuable input, I could not have crafted this post. Your wisdom has been instrumental in shaping these strategies. Thank you for your guidance and support. 🙏📚 #JNUPhD #ChineseStudies #Acknowledgments Best of luck on your academic journey, and I look forward to welcoming you to the vibrant world of Chinese Studies! 📖🌟 #JNUPhD #ChineseStudies #AcademicExcellence #PHD #JNU #Chinese studies

International Multilingual Lateral Thinker - Transverse Career Path: Engineering, Economics, Geopolitics - Mechanical Engineer and Energy Economist - Advocate for Sustainable Natural Gas
I am enthusiastic to share with my network that I have been admitted to the renowned Istituto I.S.E.O Summer School for the 2024 year. The elite and prestigious nature of the I.S.E.O. Summer School strongly motivates me to participate. It is one of the few summer courses in the world featuring Nobel Laureates among the panel of speakers, founded by the Nobel Franco Modigliani. The theme of the upcoming course, "The World Economy's Shifting Winds: New Challenges, Threats, and Opportunities," aligns perfectly with both the research topics I am currently investigating and my professional interests. 🔎 🤗 As an Italian prospective scholar with a strong international vocation, I am certainly aware of the structural thinking that the cultural background of my country can offer. Given my international exposure, I can tell that there are very few realities worldwide that can offer the ancient and illustrious academic tradition of Italy. Ideally, I would like to leverage the school's advanced studies by applying the new knowledge to my current and future studies on geoeconomics applied to the energy domain. 📚 My previous and prospective international publications in energy economics also consistently demonstrate my interest in relevant topics covered by the I.S.E.O. Summer School, particularly “the impact of AI on the future of work, the green transition, geopolitical risk and their consequences on international trade and global inflation,” as highlighted in the school's mission statement. Each of these topics is featured in my publications. I believe this alignment with the school's mission is a powerful tool that empowers me, making lectures a precious source of knowledge and inspiration. 🧠 🗣 I am currently honored to return to my home country for such a memorable experience, that would be not just intellectual, but one within the captivating landscape of Iseo Lake. I look forward to engaging in creative discussions and, finally, enjoying "real food" in an amazing venue surrounded by nature! 🍝 😋 🍕 . . . #summerschool #economics #geopolitics #threats #opportunities #continuouseducation #Nobel #laureates #eliteschool #economia #linkedin #bestadvice #success #development #innovation #management #economy #jobsearch #jobseeker #business #energy #energia #goodfood #Italy #managementdevelopment

Sharing this fantastic interview with Kavindya, in which she speaks about how she managed to secure a fully-funded scholarship from Stanford for her PhD - as a FIRST GENERATION student. This is beautiful, and I'm resharing it because of the honesty and vulnerability in it; plus because of how she's consistently pointed out how all it took was ONE person to take a chance on her (shoutout to Antonia De Meo for this! A truly impressive force to know). I'm also sharing it as a reminder to both myself, and other first-gen students who 'aren't supposed to be here'. Give it a read! "For me the starting point was the KHS website; I looked at the structure of the program and also the scholar profiles to get at the essence of what the program believed in. Then I went to the fellowships team at the Career Education office and also reached out to a couple of my mentors to get as much feedback as possible on my application process and the structure of my essays. For each round, it was a lot of mind mapping, reflection, and getting feedback from anyone ready to listen to me. For my final round, Kate and Caitlin even put together a panel of professors and staff for a mock interview and I remember texting Kate minutes before my interview for some last-minute motivation. As a first-generation college student, this kind of support is truly life-changing. I also got KHS during my third try (I know! Sometimes I have a hard time taking no for an answer!) but putting a process in place and having diverse sources of feedback goes a long way." https://lnkd.in/e3Wg3X9e
