Examining recent changes in the once stable genre of doctoral
thesis and dissertation writing, this book explores how these
changes impact on the nature of the doctoral thesis/dissertation
itself. Covering different theories of genre, Brian Paltridge and
Sue Starfield focus on the concepts of evolution, innovation and
emergence in the context of the production and reception of
doctoral theses and dissertations. Specifically concerned with this
genre in the humanities, social sciences and visual and performing
arts, this book also investigates the forces which are shaping
changes in this high-stakes genre, as well as those which act as
constraints. Employing textography as its methodological approach,
the book provides multiple perspectives on the ways in which
doctoral theses and dissertations are subject to forces of
continuity and change in the academy. Analyses of the ‘new
humanities’ doctorate, professional doctorates, practice-based
doctorates, and the doctorate by publication contribute to
understandings of new variants of the doctoral dissertation genre.
The book paves the way for a new generation of doctoral students
and asks, 'what might the doctorate of the future look like?’.
