The quality of the academics who undertake the work of teaching and
research is critical to the significance, status and relevance of
our universities. There is widespread evidence that doctoral
students are not being properly prepared for the changing face of
higher education and that once they take up academic positions,
they often experience many frustrations and tensions. This book,
based on a four-year-long research program conducted by four
academics and four graduate students, investigates the experiences
of doctoral students, new academics and senior academics as they
engage in their work related to doctoral education. Doctoral
Education: Research-Based Strategies for Doctoral Students,
Supervisors and Administrators offers research-based strategies for
improving doctoral education in a non-technical and conversational
way. Those strategies include learning to be a new supervisor
alongside other academic work, developing an intellectual network
during the doctoral journey, giving and receiving feedback on
scholarly writing, and preparing for the oral defence. Also, based
on research evidence, the book challenges taken-for-granted
practices and policies surrounding doctoral education, including
the gendered nature of disciplinary practices, the paradox of
writing in doctoral education and the public oversight of more and
more aspects of academic work. Intended for doctoral students,
academics, staff and administrators, this book provides several
perspectives on the topic of doctoral education and contains the
actual voices of doctoral students and new academics to illustrate
its discussion.
