"The very existence of poetry should make us laugh. What is it all about? What is it for?"

“El subtítulo ‘Modelo para armar’ podría llevar a creer que las
diferentes partes del relato, separadas por blancos, se proponen como piezas permutables.”

Dissertation Topics
I have a tag where I give out free ideas for dissertations. I get so many ideas myself that I don't need them all for my own research, so any of you are welcome to them. Some of them might be very dull ideas, so caveat emptor.
The ideas are fantastic. This is very generous of you. I wish we had more of established scholars who were willing to help beginning academics in this way.
The trick is to do something worthwhile with the ideas. I have handed great ideas to students and [thud]. If someone can't come up with a great idea on her own, he is unlikely to do anything great with mine.

ResponderEliminarThat's very true. A successful doctoral dissertation requires a lot of passion. Can one feel true passion for somebody else's idea?
ResponderEliminarOf course, a masters thesis is a different thing altogether, in my opinion. there, a nudge form the thesis director can be priceless.
