The Doctoral Experience
About This Book
Doctoral study is presented here as a trip that asks a great deal of those who take it, yet can be deeply fulfilling. Instead of treating the degree as a list of tasks, the book views it through three lenses: the cognitive, the emotional and the transformative. Its accounts come from candidates in the creative arts and humanities, and together they trace the full path from start to finish. The chapters are arranged around issues that doctoral students themselves identified as central, including how to build resilience and how to manage the relationship with a supervisor. Each theme combines personal narratives, worked case studies and pointers to scholarly literature, and closes with concise summaries of key lessons that the contributors consider applicable to any doctoral program, whatever the discipline. Because the contributors have reached different points in their candidature, the volume offers perspectives from the beginning, middle and end of a doctorate. It is intended for those pursuing a PhD, the supervisors guiding them, and the professionals who design and deliver research education and training.
