Diminished coursework

For every term of my PhD so far, I have been enrolled in two classes, and sometimes auditing one or more additional classes.

This term, during which I need to complete my formal dissertation proposal, I am planning to take only one. I have completed essentially all of the coursework requirements for the PhD, though I expect to continue taking courses for the duration of the program. One of the nice things about U of T is that it is packed with star professors, and there is nothing to stop anyone who can pass as a student from attending any of their lectures.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.
