Compared to many other disciplines, ICT has relat ively few students choosing to continue into doctoral studies. We have explored some of the perceived barriers to undertaking doctoral studies in ICT in three Australian universities. Current students were surveyed to establish their post-course intentions regarding employment and further study. Their reasons for not choosing to go onto research...

COLLEGE SCIENCE TEACHING A lthough the majority of graduate students pursuing doctoral-level degrees in the sciences is eventually planning for a faculty career in academics (Henderson, Clarke, and Reynolds 1996; Henderson, Clarke, and Woods 1998; Sanderson and Dugoni 1999), they leave their doctoral programs with very little experience in the broad, multidisciplinary composition of most classr...

The growth of behavior therapy during the past two decades has had a significant impact upon the education and training of professional social workers. Behavioral approaches are now well represented in the practice of clinical social work, and this trend is seen as likely to continue to expand. A description is provided of the behavioral training and research opportunities found at the masters ...

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) experiences an acute dearth of well-trained and skilled researchers. This dearth constrains the region's capacity to identify and address the root causes of its poor social, health, development, and other outcomes. Building sustainable research capacity in SSA requires, among other things, locally led and run initiatives that draw on existing regional capacities as well...

Based on my doctoral and post-doctoral anthropological research on contraception and abortion in Salvador, Bahia, this paper initially traces the "conversion" of misoprostol from a drug to treat ulcers to a self-administered abortifa...

At this meeting at the Royal College of Physicians (RCP), established academics and members of grant awarding bodies advised an audience, predominantly comprising trainees pursuing or contemplating a career in clinical science, on why, when and how to tackle such a career path in the current climate. There has arguably never been a more exciting time to be involved in clinical science. In this ...
