Doctoral education in context

About this book

Doctoral Education in Context: Perspectives from Africa shares lived experiences and insights of doctoral supervisors from 16 different countries in Africa. The book's originality lies also in the contributors' profiles as practicing, novice doctoral supervisors. All of them graduated from the Training Course for Supervisors offered by the Centre for Research on Evaluation, Science and Technology (CREST) at Stellenbosch University in South Africa, with the support of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)/German Rectors' Conference (HRK) through the DIES Programme. The authors' commitment to doctoral supervision in their particular context is shown in each chapter. Many edited volumes bring together the voices of often-established researchers; in this book, we hear first-hand the voices of novice supervisors, who are willing to learn and share their insights and experiences in doctoral supervision. This perspective makes the unique strength and originality of the book. This book is for anyone involved in the research and practice of doctoral supervision, in Africa, and the global context. Readers and doctoral supervisors outside Africa will learn much about the challenging world of doctoral supervision in Africa.minds
