Now, the dissertation

The University of Toronto Department of Political Science website lists the requirements for completing a PhD:

• Field 1 (Canadian Politics: 2012-13)
• Field 2 (Public Policy: 2013-14)
• Qualitative Methods Requirement (2014)
• Quantitative Methods Requirement (waived from undergrad and Oxford MPhil coursework)
• Field Examination in Field 1 and Field 2 (February 2014 and January 2016)
• Thesis Committee (August 22nd, 2017)
• Thesis Proposal (August 29th, 2017)
• Language Requirement (waived from undergrad coursework and Summer Language Bursary Program)
• Ethics Review
• Candidacy Completion
• Dissertation

It hasn’t exactly followed the ideal schedule, but I have done quite a few other things at the same time.

The aim now is to get ethical approval by October and finish writing and defending the dissertation by September 2019.

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.
