摘      要：Balleisen and Wisdom talk about reform of graduate education in the humanities. Doctoral program reform can and should consider the intellectual formation of students from year one through completion, including helping late-stage doctoral students transition to nonacademic careers. An NEH-funded reform effort at Duke University is developing best practices to support doctoral students: off-campus internships, interdisciplinary collaborative research experiences, and supplemental doctoral program advising. The Duke project suggests practical advice for university administrators, graduate faculty, and graduate students in navigating the landscape of humanities doctoral reform.
