A Survival Kit for Doctoral Students and Their Supervisors Summary

A Survival Kit for Doctoral Students and Their Supervisors: Traveling the Landscape of Research by Lene Tanggaard

A Survival Kit for Doctoral Students and Their Supervisors offers a hands-on guide to both students and supervisors on the doctoral journey, helping make the process as enjoyable as it is productive. Drawing on research from peer learning groups, contributed narratives, and their own programs, the authors emphasize the value of the doctoral partnership and the ways in which shared knowledge can facilitate a rewarding journey for students and their advisors. Grounded in theoretical and empirical material, the book helps participants navigate the doctoral process with personal stories and examples from a variety of researchers. A discussion of common challenges and the inclusion of practical tips further enhance the book's diverse range of helpful resources.

A Survival Kit for Doctoral Students and Their Supervisors Reviews

"I see this text as different in the sense of looking at the audience, the process, and the adviser relationship from a much more positive perspective. This text takes a more personal, softer look at the dissertation process and serves more to inspire and motivate rather than instill fear." -- George W. Semich
"...[S]uggestions for both the student and guide at the end of each chapter offer some practical ideas that faculty members and doctoral students will find extremely useful." -- LaVerne L. Ludden
"This is a quality piece of work, and I believe many future scholars will benefit from this for years to come." -- Algerian Hart
"I believe [this book] offers a broad coverage of topics that doctoral students need for research direction." -- William Figg
