The Idea of the PhD: The doctorate in the twenty-first-century
imagination analyses the PhD as it is articulated in diverse areas
of contemporary discourse at a time in which the degree is
undergoing growth, change and scrutiny worldwide. It considers not
just institutional ideas of the PhD, but those of the broader
cultural and social domain as well as asking whether, and to what
extent, the idea of the Doctor of Philosophy, the highest
achievable university award, is being reimagined in the
twenty-first century. In a world where the PhD is undergoing
significant radical change, and where inside universities, doctoral
enrolments are continually climbing, as the demand for more
graduates with high-level research skills increases, this book asks
the following questions: How do we understand how the PhD is
currently imagined and conceptualised in the wider domain? Where
will we find ideas about the PhD, from its purpose, to the nature
of research work undertaken and the kinds of pedagogies engaged, to
the researchers who undertake it and are shaped by it?
International in scope, this is a text that explores the culturally
inflected representation of the doctorate and its graduates in the
imagination, literature and media. The Idea of the PhD contributes
to the research literature in the field of doctoral education and
higher education. As such, this will be a fascinating text for
researchers, postgraduates and academics interested in the idea of
the university.
