Earning a doctorate can be a daunting, yet rewarding, venture; the doctoral journey can include immeasurable sacrifice (e.g., health, family, finances). This edited volume—a collective narrative—comprises diverse educationalist perspectives from scholars who have successfully navigated the doctoral journey. Clearly articulated throughout this collective narrative, there are innumerable ways to complete the doctoral journey; the laborious journey is not a linear process but rather a lattice of ever-evolving professional and personal relationships, experiences, perspectives, and insights. Personal accounts of resilience and growth serve as sources of inspiration while offering sage advice, genuine insights, and significant analyses—all seamlessly connected.

Contributors are: Laurie Hill, Makie Kortjass, Michael Paul Lukie, Ntokozo Mkhize-Mthembu, David G. Ngatia, Heather Raymond, Alessandra Romano, Pearl Subban, Kathy Toogood and Barbara van Ingen.

Brent Bradford, PhD (2015, University of Alberta), is Associate Professor at Concordia University of Edmonton, Canada. Dr. Bradford has published and presented extensively in the field of education, and is Series Editor of The Doctoral Journey in Education (Brill).
