Reviews

“I wish I could have given this book to my doctoral students. It would have helped them, and me, considerably. And I wish this book were available when I wrote my dissertation. It would have improved my plodding great tome, made me more confident of what I was doing, and saved my dissertation committee’s time and energy. All mentors of social science doctoral students should give Giele’s Dissertation Advice for Social Research to their ABD students.” John E. Eck, Professor of Criminal Justice, University of Cincinnati and author of Writing with Sweet Clarity (Routledge, 2022) “This is an experientially grounded, strategically conceived, and immensely helpful step-by-step guidebook for doctoral students and their mentors navigating the challenging and uncertain seas of the academic dissertation. It is a long overdue book I would have welcomed enthusiastically 50 years ago when I initiated my dissertation and would recommend unreservedly to doctoral students today.” David A. Snow, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of California, Irvine
