Despite considerable research that has provided a better
understanding of the challenges of doctoral education, it remains
the case that only 57% of all doctoral students will complete their
programs. This groundbreaking volume sheds new light on
determinants for doctoral student success and persistence by
examining the socialization and developmental experiences of
students through multiple lenses of individual, disciplinary, and
institutional contexts. This book comprehensively critiques
existing models and views of doctoral student socialization, and
offers a new model that incorporates concepts of identity
development, adult learning, and epistemological development. The
contributors bring the issues vividly to life by creating five
student case studies that, throughout the book, progressively
illustrate key stages and typical events of the socialization
process. These fictional narratives crystallize how particular
policies and practices can assist or impede the formation of future
scholars. The book concludes by developing practical
recommendations for doctoral students themselves, but most
particularly for faculty, departments, universities, and external
agencies concerned with facilitating doctoral student success.
