Synopsis
Metamorphosis is an edited collection of essays that examines the effects of professional development activities on graduate students from the graduate student perspective. Often, regardless of a student s postdegree goals, he or she is required to attend and participate in a variety of professional development activities as part of the graduate program. While there is much research on the importance of these activities, few works consider professional development from the student perspective. The focus in this collection is to express and reflect upon the kind of visceral, or embodied, experience of graduate professional development that only storytelling can convey. The stories shared in this collection are powerful testaments of the sometimes-painful metamorphosis that graduate students experience while professionalizing into their chosen field. Contributions to the collection represent Rhetoric and Composition, Museum Studies, Literary Studies, and Education. The stories here are easily extrapolated to encompass most fields within the Humanities and perhaps beyond. The chapters presented speak to two distinct audiences: to graduate students and to the mentors and administrators responsible for facilitating graduate professional development. Furthermore, we imagine that undergraduate students exploring the option of graduate school may be keenly interested in the lived experiences of graduate professional development and may, thus, find the chapters herein provide much-needed guidance and friendly admonition. We hope that this collection will spur further conversation, research, and theory about graduate professional development.
