Listen "The Crossover"
Episode Synopsis
We venture into unknown territories. We team up with our friends Alex and Philipp from the German podcast "Desk Reject: der PhD Cast", which comes out of the Vienna University of Economics and Business and is run by PhD students Sophie Quach, Dieter Gutschi, Philipp Benedikt Becker, and Alexander Staub. If you understand German – or aspire to learn it – you should follow their podcast. Together, we discuss what makes a great or a good PhD student, whether PhD students need to create a researcher identity for themselves, and how academics can deal with envy. As usual, the references to all readings we mention are listed on http://www.janrecker.com/this-is-research-podcast/.
