This multidisciplinary, multi-voiced book looks at the practice and
pedagogy of generic, across-campus support for doctoral students.
With a global imperative for increased doctoral completions,
universities around the world are providing more generic support.
This book represents collegial cross-fertilisation focussed on
generic pedagogy, provided by contributors who are practitioners
working and researching at the pan-disciplinary level which
complements supervision. In the UK, funding for two weeks annual
training in transferable skills for each doctoral scholarship
recipient has caused an explosion of such teaching, which is now
flourishing elsewhere too; for example, endorsed by the Carnegie
Initiative on the Doctorate in the USA and developed extensively in
Australia. Generic doctoral support is expanding, yet is a
relatively new kind of teaching, practised extensively only in the
last decade and with its own ethical, practical and pedagogical
complexities. These raise a number of questions: How is generic
support funded and situated within institutions? Should some
sessions be compulsory for doctoral students? Where do the
boundaries lie between what can be taught generically or left to
supervisors as discipline-specific? To what extent is generic work
pastoral? What are its main benefits? Its challenges? Its
objectives? Over the last two decades supervision has been
investigated and theorised as a teaching practice, a discussion
this book extends to generic doctoral support. This edited book has
contributions from a wide range of authors and includes short inset
narratives from academic authorities, accumulatively enabling
discussion of practice and the establishment of a benchmark for
this growing topic.
Developing Research Writing is designed to encourage, inspire and
improve the advisory practice of providing writing feedback. This
book provides insights and advice that supervisors can use to
advance their support of their research students' writing and, at
the same time, survive increasing supervisory demands. Book parts
are framed by empirical supervisor and doctoral student experiences
and chapters within each part provide multiple approaches. The
carefully chosen contributors are specialists on research writing
and doctoral pedagogy, who guide the reader through the key stages
of providing feedback. Split into nine key parts the book covers:
starting a new supervision with writing in focus; making use of
other resources along the way; encouraging style through control of
language; writing feedback on English as an Additional Language
(EAL) writing; Master's and Honours smaller projects' writing
feedback; thesis by publication or performance-based writing;
maintaining and gathering momentum; keeping the examiner happy;
writing feedback as nudging through identity transition. The parts
cohere into a go-to handbook for developing the supervision
process. Drawing on research, literature and experience, Developing
Research Writing offers well-theorized, yet practical and grounded
advice conducive to good practices.
