A Handbook for Doctoral Supervisors Summary

A Handbook for Doctoral Supervisors by Stan Taylor (Durham University, UK)

Historically, it has been presumed that being an experienced researcher was enough in itself to guarantee effective supervision. This has always been a dubious presumption and it has become an untenable one in the light of global developments in the doctorate itself and in the candidate population which have transformed demands upon expectations of supervisors.

This handbook will assist new and experienced supervisors to respond to these changes. Divided into six parts the book looks at the following issues:

changing contexts of doctoral supervision
recruiting, selecting and working with doctoral candidates
supporting the research project
supporting candidates of all nationalities and academic backgrounds
supporting completion of projects and examination
evaluation and dissemination of practice.

A Handbook for Doctoral Supervisors focuses on the practical needs of supervisors, draws examples from a wide range of countries and uses self-interrogation as a means of encouraging readers to reflect upon their practice, making it an essential read for anyone involved in doctoral supervision.

'This book will not only be extremely useful for new supervisors, it will also provide the types of information that experienced supervisors need. The handbook format is used well to combine,firstly, research based principles of good supervision with, secondly, insights drawn from the experience of supervisors, and thirdly, bullets and questions to prompt readers to think about their understanding of good supervision.'- Higher Education Review
