I faxed my degree application to my advisor today. He'll sign it and send it on to the Graduate College.

A second form comes direct from the Psychology Department. They certify that I've completed everything I was supposed to complete, and that they approve my plan to graduate. I just e-mailed the departmental Admin with the details she'll need from me:

Dissertation title: "The Effects of Child Disability on Parental Endorsement of Physical Discipline: An Analog Study of Abuse Potential."

Committee: John Knutson (advisor), Don Fowles, Jodie Plumert, Peter Nathan, and Don Van Dyke (Pediatrics Department).

Date, time, and place of defense: August 27, 2003 at 1:00 PM, in 104 Spence Laboratories of Psychology.

It's really happening.

An excellent title.

Thanks, I like it too. I was really feeling the tension between choosing a title that accurately reflected the specific content of my study, and choosing a title that made the link to abuse. Without linking to the abuse question, it looks like I just have an not-hugely-relevant study of parenting choices. But saying I studied the effects of disability on abuse is just inaccurate. My friend the colon saved the day!
