Summer 2025 Dean’s List

Congratulations to our students in the College of Education and Human Development who were named to the George Mason University Dean’s List for the summer 2025 term!

Addressing the push to “get published!”

The push to “get published” at the doctoral level is ever-present.

Students are strongly encouraged to get their name out there at least once during their PhD coursework but going about this can feel intimidating. The competition to get published in a big-name journal can feel discouraging, especially when there is a fee for submitting manuscripts for review. It can feel overwhelming to have to consider the fact that your manuscript will be peer-reviewed by others in your field, some of whom you may have met (or will meet) at conferences, and some who you may very well have referenced in your work before. Keep reading to discover how I pushed through these feelings of intimidation and embarked on my own journey of getting published for the first time.
