An innovative proposal, via Chris Uggen:

i recently received an exploratory sort of memo regarding co-authored ph.d. dissertations. … the proposal even included language detailing how both students would be credited as co-first-authors. oh yeah, that’ll allay the concerns of a recruitment committee.

I imagine the defense would be pretty entertaining. “That’s a really devastating criticism. I’ll let my co-author deal with it, as that section was all his idea.” I look forward to Chris receiving a proposal for dissertations that are wholly outsourced.
