This book explores the experience of supervision and the PhD,
drawing on a range of key viewpoints to further understanding of
this complex educational experience. Providing a complex and
challenging education in research, the PhD is unlike other degrees
and at its heart is the key educational role of supervisor.
"Understanding Supervision and the PhD" explores doctoral research
as a real life experience, as understood from the perspective of
key participants, including those who have successfully completed
their PhD, those who are currently studying towards their PhD,
those who are new to supervision, and experienced supervisors.
"Understanding Supervision and the PhD" is written in the belief
that supervisors' professional development is enriched by
recognising the variety of perspectives, experiences and forms of
PhD that shape the doctoral experience. This realistic approach
places the complexity of the supervisor role at the centre of
analysis, recognising the risks that accompany the achievements of
the task. Topical and relevant implications are drawn and questions
are raised for supervision throughout. This valuable approach
enables supervisors to apply these accounts to their own
disciplinary and academic settings; in particular, the book
recognises that there are no simple answers to supervisory
challenges.
