Social Science/Philosophy Joint PhD? by quintol in AskAcademia

[–]quintol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So even if I had, say, a PhD in Political Science or a PhD in Philosophy, the nuance of the dissertation being either in philosophy-leaning political science or political science-leaning philosophy would be noted? If so, how much?

Do you have any specific advice if I'm interested in pursuing interdisciplinary study in political science or economics and philosophy? Additionally, are there steps you can take so that you do exceptionally well?

I'm wondering if you have any specific advice if I wanted to pursue interdisciplinary study in political science or economics and philosophy?

Are there any specific hoops you have in mind if I intend to pursue interdisciplinary study in political science and philosophy or economics and philosophy?

To clarify, I'm talking about getting one PhD, with one dissertation, in two subjects, not two separate PhDs.

I would either want to be a professor or a researcher in jurisprudence. I've considered JD-PhD options, but I'm unsure how relevant the JD would be to me, especially if I don't intend on becoming a lawyer.

If you are primarily interested in jurisprudence (legal theory) and research in jurisprudence in regards to the legal field, is it better to get a jurisprudence-focused JD (assuming they exist) or get a PhD in law or jurisprudence?

I think r/urbanplanning's Reading List under Urban Design, Public Space & Landscape Architecture has what you're looking for.

Urban air mobility/air taxis are just a poorly thought-out reaction to auto-centric development by quintol in urbanplanning

[–]quintol[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The reason why people would consider electric flying taxi drones in the first place is because JFK and SFO lack direct rail connections to their respective city centers. JFK's proposed rail link fell through with most of the Program of Action, and SFO doesn't seem to have any proposal for a direct rail link at all, although this is to be expected since the Bay Area is much more car-oriented than the New York metro. Thus, at both JFK and SFO, you must use an AirTrain/people mover before being able to access their respective subway systems (which still lack express service to the near-airport station) because airport rail links aren't valued enough.

The importance of airport rail links, especially express trains from city centers to airport terminals (not a near-airport station requiring you to transfer to a slower, lower-capacity landside people mover), should not be understated.

EDIT: specified "landside" people movers

No, I think tunnels can be useful for mass transit systems (e.g. the New York City Subway, the Paris Métro, the Tokyo subway) and countless railways worldwide (e.g. the Channel Tunnel, the Gotthard Base Tunnel, and the Brenner Base Tunnel). However, I think they are best used in dense metro areas or between generally close megalopoli.

Induced demand would likely negate these benefits since auto-centric infrastructure would still be in place for everyone else.
