I just have to refer you to this conversation at the University of Venus blog about experiential education. The whole blog itself is terrific and is listed on our blog role.
Thanks Jim! Johnny Can’t (Net)work originally focused on undergrads from working-class and/or first generation backgrounds but the comments have really moved the conversation to PhD student preparation and capacity-building at the junior faculty level. Leanne Doherty and I also had a recent letter to the editor of The Boston Globe on this issue — Don’t Let Students Get Lost in the Internship Shuffle - http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/letters/articles/2010/06/07/dont_let_students_get_lost_in_the_internship_shuffle/
