Unveiling the cloak of competence: Cultivating authenticity in graduate sociology
Article Abstract:
An argument that the professoriate must make typifications about students rather quickly, in selecting the students to work with, as the quest for supervisors is competitive, and that the cultivation of a positive reputation is an essential part of success for students, is presented. The merits of cultivation of authenticity in graduate school is considered, which provides a better way to socialize graduate students into participating in open scholarly challenges, which enhance their creative potential.
