Issues and Ethics of International Research

PhD and Me: The Third Degree is brought to you by doctoral students from around the world. This podcast is about the real-life experiences of PhD students walking this sometimes vexing but meaningful path towards the final (third) degree. Listen as we share our experiences getting into and through our doctoral programs, the things that keep us up at night about our work, the higher ed issues that bring us together, and everything in between! Each episode features a rotating panel of PhD students, their international collaborators, and guests to discuss wide-ranging issues that matter to us.
