Mailing lists, guest posts, and other marketing/PR: 

I do not take guest posts or market content for remuneration. See here for more detail, and email here if you still want to reach out.

UChicago students:

I am on sabbatical leave until fall quarter of 2024, and so I will not have office hours for undergraduates or Master’s students until I return. Apologies.

For current PhD students at UChicago, please feel free to write me. I will be actively advising  my current advisees, and I am always open to speaking with new potential advisees working in my fields.

In the meantime, here are a few common questions (alongside my advice posts at the top of the page):

• • Recommendation letters
  • What I expect from dissertation advisees
  • My Vox column on what college students should do, and more on how to get the most from college

Applying to UChicago degrees or want a job with me?

In response to common questions, I’ve written several posts:

• • General advice on Master’s programs, including information on the Harris programs
  • General advice on PhD applications
  • Want to work on my research projects?
  • See other advice posts in the menu

I’m not directly involved in admissions or hiring, but those posts should tell you most of what you need to know.

Apologies, but we have so many applicants I usually cannot respond to individual emails. This lets me maximize time with current students.

Non-UChicago students and social media followers:

Alas, I get too many advice requests and questions to reply. But I do want to give as many young people as possible the benefits of advice. That’s why I wrote the advice posts in the menu above.

If you think another topic deserves coverage, I am happy to hear it.
