Why on earth would anyone choose to do a PhD in democracy studies?
How and why should we even study democracy?
And what are the challenges and rewards of the PhD journey?

DemocracyNet asked these questions to democracy researchers, young PhD candidates, people who have given up on their PhD, fresh post-docs and established professors, as well as coaches, trainers, supervisors, and others. Their confessions, collected in 31 chapters, are published as open-access book.

Edited by Lea Heyne (University of Lisbon) and Christian Ewert (University of Zurich), PhD Confessions presents authentic, personal and even intimate experiences about the PhD journey.
