Getting Started with Doctoral Supervision is a uniquely inclusive book in its exploration of the diversity of candidates, projects, disciplines, and modes of supervision. It is written for those beginning to supervise postgraduates.
This book is based in the three dimensions of supervision: personal, learning and institutional, and considers ways of working with individual candidates throughout their doctoral or masters learning journeys, focusing on motivations, personal engagement, wellbeing and dealing with difficulties. Seeing supervision as a developmental learning dialogue, it considers enabling candidates’ experiences as learners developing new knowledge with supervisory guidance. It also deals with working with the changing demands of the institution on the doctorate and its supervision broadly conceived, including the construction and presentation of the doctoral work in thesis, creative work, or publications, to realistic time, approved appropriate form.
Getting Started with Doctoral Supervision will take you on a research and experience based, reflection and action provoking and is a must-read guide for all those coming to supervision for the first time or looking to refresh their practice.
The 'Insider Guides to Success in Academia' offers support and practical advice to doctoral students and early-career researchers. Covering the topics that really matter, but which often get overlooked, this indispensable series provides practical and realistic guidance to address many of the needs and challenges of trying to operate, and remain, in academia.
These neat pocket guides fill specific and significant gaps in current literature. Each book offers insider perspectives on the often implicit rules of the game -- the things you need to know but usually aren't told by institutional postgraduate support, researcher development units, or supervisors -- and will address a practical topic that is key to career progression. They are essential reading for doctoral students, early-career researchers, supervisors, mentors, or anyone looking to launch or maintain their career in academia.
Professor Gina Wisker is a Doctoral Supervisor and Associate Professor in the International Centre for Higher Education Management, University of Bath, UK.
