Every doctoral candidate eventually faces the same gauntlet: a committee empowered to pick apart years of work in a single afternoon. In this practical, no-nonsense guide, economist and author Dr. John M. Cobin draws on his own doctoral training to show candidates how to prepare for and survive a hostile dissertation defense.
From anticipating adversarial questioning and defending a thesis under pressure to managing committee politics and recovering from a rocky moment in the room, this survival guide walks readers through the defense process step by step. It is direct, candid, and built for the realities of academic combat rather than idealized textbook advice.
Whether you are months away from your defense or just beginning your dissertation, Defending Your PhD Dissertation offers a clear-eyed playbook for turning a hostile reading into a successful outcome.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Defending Your PhD Dissertation is a survival guide for doctoral candidates who suspect their defense will be anything but friendly. Dr. John M. Cobin who earned his PhD in public policy at George Mason University in 1996 and has spent decades teaching, consulting, and reviewing graduate work in the United States and Chile lays out exactly how to prepare for a committee that is skeptical, divided, or openly hostile. This is not a cheerful pep talk. It is a field manual for the worst-case room: anticipating loaded questions, defending your methodology under pressure, conceding small points without surrendering your thesis, and keeping your composure when the tone turns adversarial. Cobin walks you through reading the politics behind the table, rehearsing for ambush, and answering with discipline rather than emotion. Practical, candid, and built on real academic experience, this guide helps you walk into the most important hour of your doctoral life ready to defend what you have earned.
