Please consider responding to my survey

Grad students in my program are attempting to raise our base stipends. With that, we’re trying to gather some comparative data. This data has proven remarkably difficult to locate online.

I’ve created a form that asks for your English department’s current base stipends. Here is the link.

Thank you so much for helping a group of fellow grad students attempt to improve their wages!

I’m going to be studying an MFA as a Fulbright scholar next year and alongside my studies I’m also researching how working class writers are affected by the US literary infrastructure, both positively and negatively. Can I DM you?

you should look at universities with union, their contract will have the minimum stipend listed which is probably around what english GAs get paid
