The Doctoral Thesis Name Game

Basically the band name game, only instead of bands you name doctoral theses.

From Bizarro World.
Here, I’ll start:

Contemplations From the Bowl: The Effects of Chronic Regurgitation on Philosophical and Socioeconomic Stability, And Pie

That would be an e, ladies and gents. Any takers?

Empire Strikes Backwards? The Dissassociation of (Post-)Colonial Narrativization from Transnational Discursivity in Star Wars Trilogy Reception Theory

Yet unrecognizable benifits for bio-informatics with special regards to the application of acceptable variables.

–I think we should add a new phase to the game where you have to explain what the thesis title means.
I like this game

eyes CRorex’s thesis title

eyes the Bio-Info students wandering about What’s scary, is that I think one of them would actually do that for their thesis if I suggested it to them. Hmmm. :smiley:

How about: Dialectic predeconstructivist theory, posttextual destructuralism and Marxism.

(If you are really stuck coming up with one, try here.


<< Foo. >>

Nightsong: I should hope they aren’t doing a thesis like the title I made up!

My title basically says, “It’s a lot easier when I throw out the data that doesn’t fit.”

Mechanical adjustments for optimal trajectory: muscular effeciency in aerial primate movement.

“How monkeys swing from branches”

Heteronomous Categorical Propositions and Mediate Inferences — Insights into a Noumenal Metaphilosophy

(or, Unwanted Advice and Other Meddling)

Young Guns - Paleo-Psychoanalyzing and Neo-Deconstructing the Convergence of Avant-Garde Gun Culture and Societal Norms of Marginalized Teens in the Near East

It explains itself! :stuck_out_tongue:

"To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before": Reimagining the Neo-mperialistic Discourse of Modernist Science Fiction Using a Post-Steinemian Feminist Value System

I don’t know, something about girls and Star Trek.

Well, mine was going to be called Why Everything Richard Helgerson Says Is Wrong, Except When He Annoys Me By Being Right, except that I’ve just been invited to meet him, which means I have to come up with a new title by Wednesday of next week. Hmm…

His ‘n’ Herstories: Reconfiguring Transgressive Gender and Class Discourses in Communitarian Histories of the 1590’s

I haven’t the foggiest idea what it means, mostly because I haven’t the foggiest idea what my dissertation is about, but it has a nice ring to it.

Subcapitalist Theories: The conceptualist paradigm of narrative in the works of Eco

Cranial Hyperadiposity…The Practice, Causation and Concurrent Ambulation in the Post-Dissertational Population.

Or How and why Doctors and other PhDs become walking fat heads.

Occipital cortex processing of representations of anatomical shapes in experts and novices

(How the brain of a porn freak is different)

Symptoms of Abnormally Passive, High Functioning, Verbally Adept Homo-Sapiens as Related to Aptitude of Achieving Coitus Amongst Typical Peer Groups

or

Why nice guys can’t get laid.

One more thing, I think alot of you guys are forgetting that the OP expects the next entry to use the last letter of the previous entry as the first entry of the next.

er, …first letter of the next.

Yeah, I was kinda shooting for the game to be like that. But this is fine also. Plus, I kinda like CRorex’s rule. :slight_smile:

Ghost Dogs And Groundhogs: Time-Looped Narrativium Meets The Excrement Of The Ages

Or

Why Groundhog Day rules the earth with a mighty fist and Ghost Dog blows goat cheese out my penile passage.

Seminal Works in Science and the Evolution of Scientist Training: a Mathmatical Study on How Time and Funding Allocation Contribute to Primary Literature

“The funding I got to research this paper was all spent on beer, now I’ve got 2 days and no money to generate 2 months of research for this paper.”

Oh by the way: All of the thesis titles I’m using in this are different ways of looking at one paper I read during my junior year in college. A cookie for whoever finds the citation for that paper!

CRorex-

Would it be (drumroll…):

A DYNAMIC FORCE AND MOMENT ANALYSIS SYSTEM FOR BRACHIATION

by Chang et al.
The Journal of Experimental Biology 200, 3013–3020 (1997)

Or possibly

A POINT-MASS MODEL OF GIBBON LOCOMOTION

by Bertram et al.
