Deconstructing Doctoral Discourses

Beschreibung

This book identifies and challenges assumptions about the doctorate and the discourses associated with it. The editors and contributors subvert and transform the de facto assumptions that frame the ways in which 'the doctorate' is spoken and written, and thus underpin approaches to planning, conducting and evaluating doctoral research. Giving voice to doctoral students and supervisors, the book opens a pathway for their own stories: why students entered doctoral study, the understandings and experiences they gleaned from it, and the implications for their own character. The book questions what kinds of discourses help to construct contemporary doctoral research, and how these might be de- and reconstructed, and asks what doctoral study might look like in the future. Academics, students and practitioners alike will find an avenue into rigorous research design from reflective and insightful scholars who provide a voice for doctoral strategies for success.

“This collection a worthwhile read for doctoral education researchers, in my opinion they also serve a radical function for existing doctoral students. ... This book serves as a testament ... and as inspiration for doctoral students to document their journeys, situate themselves among current debates, and improve the degree for the next generation. ... For doctoral students considering making contributions to doctoral studies, this book is a rare collation of exemplars.” (Joshua Wang, Journal of Learning Development in Higher Education, Issue 30, March, 2024)
