AERA-GSL Graduate Studies Discussion Forum
When Scott and I created AERA-GSL in 1994, we envisioned a public discussion forum where graduate students could actively engage in discussions about their graduate student experiences. It was, and is, our continuing hope that such discussions would have a positive impact on graduate student experiences and ultimately lead to the reform of graduate studies.
Over the past decade there was increasing attention paid to graduate studies issues and outcomes. Many of these issues have been the focus of attention of the Re-Envisioning of the Ph.D. project and this page from their web site provides some useful resources.

Below, you will also find an excerpt from the AERA-GSL Welcome message which further articulates our vision for this discussion list.
Happy holdays to all,
Scott and Bobbi Kerlin

THE PURPOSE AERA-GSL
====================
Graduate education is a critical component of today's higher education world, but its issues are often overlooked in discussions on existing higher education lists. In many ways, the condition of graduate education today says much about the evolution of the academic profession in the 21st century. For this reason, dialogue about the most important concerns in graduate education will help to heighten awareness about the changes occurring in higher education that will likely shape the future academic profession and academic labor market.
We also think it is critical to provide an opportunity for a diverse audience to engage in discussion about graduate studies, and for this reason we actively encourage women, people of color, and scholars from countries from around the globe to contribute their ideas to the forum. We invite all GSL members to contribute items of interest to graduate students and others, such as conference calls, research studies, and electronic journals related to the issues of graduate education. Finally, we encourage contributors to share other forms of information on areas such as graduate assistantships, funding issues, employment trends after graduate school, enrollment and advising issues, health and family concerns, and many other topics that relate in some way to the progress of graduate students.
Our hope is that this forum will also offer a place where graduate students can find moral support while they explore their own knowledge and experiences with graduate training. Through GSL, we hope that all members--students and others as well--will engage in a rich variety of dialogue and inquiry about the current issues of critical importance in graduate education.
