520    It is no secret that American graduate education is in 
       disarray. Graduate students take too long to complete 
       their studies and face a dismal academic job market if 
       they succeed. The Graduate School Mess gets to the root of
       these problems and offers concrete solutions for 
       revitalizing graduate education in the humanities. Leonard
       Cassuto, professor and graduate education columnist for 
       The Chronicle of Higher Education, argues that 
       universities' heavy emphasis on research comes at the 
       expense of teaching. But teaching is where reforming 
       graduate school must begin. Cassuto says that graduate 
       education must recover its mission of public service. 
       Professors should revamp the graduate curriculum and 
       broaden its narrow definition of success to allow students
       to create more fulfilling lives for themselves both inside
       and outside the academy. Cassuto frames the current 
       situation foremost as a teaching problem: professors 
       rarely prepare graduate students for the demands of the 
       working worlds they actually join. He gives practical 
       advice about how faculty can teach and advise graduate 
       students by committing to a student-centered approach. In 
       chapters that follow the career of the graduate student 
       from admissions to the dissertation and placement, Cassuto
       considers how each stage of graduate education is shaped 
       by unexamined assumptions and ancient prejudices that need
       to be critically confronted. Written with verve and 
       infused with history. The Graduate School Mess returns our
       national conversation about graduate study in the 
       humanities to first principles. -- from dust jacket.
