Undertaking a Professional Doctorate in Education (EdD) can be a
daunting yet career-defining task. Through engaging with research,
increasing your networks, and conducting your own research project,
you will advance your professional practice and understanding of
your field. Completing your EdD is the new essential text to guide
you through your doctorate. It provides a thorough and
comprehensive guide intended to accompany you as you successfully
progress through your EdD. It is packed with critical information
covering key topics from both the taught modules you will undertake
and advice for conducting your own research project. Coverage
includes writing at doctoral level, conducting a literature review,
theoretical frameworks, research ethics, the relationship with your
supervisor, and more. Bridging theory and practice, chapters
include practical, real-life examples taken from EdD students'
experiences and work, as well as extracts offered by practitioners.
Written by current EdD teachers, programme leaders and supervisors,
and featuring feedback from recently completed EdD students, this
vital resource is a must-read for any EdD candidate and will remain
a go-to guide for qualified professionals working in education and
beyond.
Traditionally academia has been seen as an elite profession, for
those with an academic background and from the middle/upper
classes. This is what makes the life of a working class academic
all the more interesting, rich and powerful. How have they become
who they are in an industry steeped in elitism? How have they
navigated their way, and what has the journey been like? Do they
continue to identify as working class or has their social
positioning and/or identities shifted? Iona Burnell Reilly presents
a collection of autoethnographies, written by working class
academics in higher education - how they got there, what their
journeys were like, what their experiences were, if they faced any
struggles, conflicts, prejudice and discrimination, and if they had
to, or still do, negotiate their identities. Told in their own
words the academics chart their journeys and explore their
experiences of becoming an academic while also coming from a
working class background. Although a working class heritage
under-pins the autoethnography of each of the writers, the
interlocking sections between class, race, gender and sexuality
will also be relevant.
