My trusted assistant, John Gabriel, has created a list of online resources on how to study, write papers, apply to graduate school, publish, and get a job in philosophy. Some students may find it useful. Some of the links are to previous posts on this blog, but there is much else besides. The list is also part of my permanent website.

Hello,
I just went through the application process this past year and during that time I maintained detailed blog entries on the different parts of the application. I think it is potentially a good resource (and I plan to keep working on it for future applicants while I’m at grad school). You might think its worth having people look at. You can take a look at http://www.philblogs.com/normalscience. If you sort the archives by the subject graduate school you’ll find the relevant posts.
Cheers,
John Basl
