Dear Patrice and all, When the idea of profiling Phds came up, something sat uncomfortably in my stomach and I could not quite identify it. Your mail has made it clearer to me. Regardless of the academic qualifications we have, we are all making tremendous contributions to our society. So what was the rationale of profiling the Phds? It is not that I am against Phds -( I am actually struggling with the last procedures on mine). I just feel that doing this without any apparent reason may unnecessarily classify people. In my view doctoral achievements can be celebrated but they should not be used to set people apart. What about the many people on this forum who have achieved so much personally and for society without doctoral studies? Instead, I like Patrice's idea of profiling everyone so that we can see the richness that we have in diversity. We all can then be affirmed in our uniqueness.
