"These trends should disturb anyone who advises Ph.D. students in the humanities and humanistic social sciences and who cares about their well-being as both people and scholars. We -- and by we, I mean faculty, staff and administrators,

those of us with the privilege of secure and gainful employment -- must check our institutions in such moments. It is up to us to ensure that doctoral students are not going without housing, food or health insurance.

It is up to us to ensure that they are not unceremoniously ejected into a job market that has contracted without any warning.

Fundamentally, I see this as a problem that speaks to a structural void of ethical obligation and responsibility -- of care --

on the part of our institutions toward doctoral students, who represent the future of our disciplines and of higher education.We must take seriously our responsibilities to those people who have entrusted us not only with their educations, but with their lives and their futures."
