Where there's a dissertation there's a whippet (MGY edition)

Today is Zadie's TENTH birthday! To celebrate, she turned up while I was reading a dissertation, as whippets do. Way to go, MGY. You did it.

Holiday edition too!

Traveling the dissertation road with students is a pleasure and a privilege. Can't wait for the world to read Ismael's work. 

Where there's a dissertation there's a whippet (ND edition)

I am reasonably sure this same whippet was hanging around when I was reading ND's honors thesis here at Penn State. And now this: his U of South Carolina doctoral thesis! Thrilled for you, Nathan.

Where there's a dissertation there's a whippet (EAR edition!)

A somewhat dreary May day made much brighter by cracking open a new dissertation, with (of course!) a whippet nearby. A vivid description of one of the research sites includes an instructor's dog wandering around. (No pressure everybody, but that's two in a row.)

Where there's a dissertation there’s whippet (CWK edition!)

This dissertation has lots to offer the world, but a little aside is about dogs attending Early Modern sermons is one of my favorite nuggets. 

Where there's a dissertation there is--still!--a whippet (ES edition)

Dissertation defenses three days in a row the last week of February, so it's probably good that it's cold outside! 

Where there's a dissertation there's a whippet, SS edition

I suppose it's somewhat fitting that a fascinating dissertation examining wartime English would be attended by--or read while tending to--an ailing whippet. (Knee surgery on Thursday. She's doing great.)
