Abstract

ABSTRACT Committees from the American Political Science Association (APSA) on the status of graduate students in political science conducted digital surveys in 2018, 2020, and 2022. Distributed using listservs from APSA, the surveys asked about a range of realities facing graduate students including employment opportunities, industry or academic support, and overall well-being. Analysis of the data pre-, during-, and post-pandemic revealed high anxiety in 2018 as part of students’ experience looking for jobs. By 2020 and 2022, anxiety worsened, such that the well-being of graduate students in political science should be addressed. We recommend a change in the structure of graduate academic programs to include stronger institutional support and an emphasis on alternative paths for work that does not entail teaching at an academic institution.

研究生面临的现实:在2020年COVID-19大流行之前、期间和之后

美国政治科学协会(APSA)关于政治学研究生现状的委员会在2018年、2020年和2022年进行了数字调查。这些调查使用美国研究生协会的listservs进行分发，询问了研究生面临的一系列现实情况，包括就业机会、行业或学术支持以及整体幸福感。对大流行之前、期间和之后的数据进行的分析显示，2018年学生在找工作时高度焦虑。到2020年和2022年，焦虑加剧，应该解决政治学研究生的福祉问题。我们建议改变研究生学术课程的结构，包括更强有力的机构支持，并强调不需要在学术机构教书的其他工作途径。
