Doctoral dissertations include innovative scholarship, new
topics of inquiry, and fresh approaches to longstanding topics in any academic
discipline. However, most dissertations do not become available to the general
public until the author is able to convert their dissertation into a book
manuscript. Dissertation Reviews is designed to "offer readers a glimpse
of each discipline's immediate present by focusing on the window of time
between dissertation defense and first book publication." On this site,
visitors can read reviews of over 1,000 dissertations in the humanities and
social science fields from around the globe. In each review, an early career
scholar in the field outlines the dissertator's main argument and sources and
discusses how the dissertation fits into the field's existing body of
scholarship. Visitors to this website can search for dissertation by
institution or academic subject. In addition, Dissertation Reviews contains
Fresh from the Archives, which reviews the many libraries, archives, and
databases used by scholars to complete their dissertations.
