Full Description
Undertaking a doctorate is a unique experience. It is creative, challenging, emotionally and intellectually demanding, and should be immensely rewarding. With 30 chapters written by experienced academics, recent graduates and current candidates from across Australia and New Zealand, Doctorates Downunder is designed to prepare research candidates for the journey ahead, and guide them throughout their doctoral programme.
Updating and expanding on the first edition, whilst maintaining key features and benefits, Doctorates Downunder focuses on integral aspects of doctoral study, providing theoretically sound frameworks for research and highly practical ideas and advice. The proliferation of university-based formal training courses for doctoral candidates further underpins the importance of this resource, which includes new chapters on:
planning and monitoring doctoral work
becoming an effective member of a university department
communicating your doctoral research in the mass media.
The new edition is comprehensive in coverage and provides Aboriginal, Maori and international candidate perspectives, reflecting a diversity of voice and experience.
