Abstract

What do you do when you realize that one of your most fundamental ideas about yourself is actually false? How do you resituate yourself in a world that has been turned upside down? This book charts the early stage of the author's journey of gender transition, as well as her process of settling down in South Africa as a fledgling academic. The story is a deeply personal one, but also one that will resonate with other transgender people, migrants, academic hopefuls, and border-crossers of all kinds. As a story of coming to terms with an identity in flux, it illustrates the fundamental open-endedness of all human identities.

Abstract

Beyond the doctoral thesis itself, the most significant factors in the progression of PhD candidature and early academic careers are: the relationships between the researcher and their supervisor(s), the ability to network, and understanding one's place in the global research arena. Navigating these critical factors and moving from a novice to expert, is a critical undertaking for every PhD candidate and a process that will continue for years following one's PhD. In this book, scholars from around the world offer practical advice on how to get the most out of one's doctorate. Readers will get helpful tips on how to sustain healthy and long-lasting relationships with their supervisors, learn how to develop their networks, and understand the important changes impacting the modern PhD candidate.

Abstract

Trois points de vue complémentaires sont mis à contribution pour cerner ce document familier et mal connu qui joue un rôle si important dans la vie des universitaires : le rapport de soutenance de thèse. C. Dardy a considéré cet écrit d’un point de vue socio-anthropologique, le situant dans cet ensemble plus vaste qu’est la fabrication et la soutenance de la thèse ; D. Maingueneau s’est intéressé au texte comme genre, comme dispositif socio-discursif, mettant l’accent sur les positions de subjectivité impliquées par une telle énonciation et son caractère de discours “rapporté” ; D. Ducard s’est focalisé sur la constitution sémiotique de l’image du thésard et sur deux processus linguistiques qui lui ont paru exemplaires : les opérations de “centrage” de la notion de “thèse” (qu’en est-il d’une “bonne thèse”, d’une “vraie thèse” ?) et le mouvement concessif, qui structure l’ensemble de cette énonciation. Ainsi le rapport de soutenance de thèse apparaît à la fois comme activité inscrite dans un ensemble d’autres, liée à l’institution du savoir et aux procédures d’évaluation, comme dispositif spécifique d’énonciation, comme configuration sémiotique sous-tendue par des représentations subjectives et collectives et comme agencement de formes textuelles significatives.

Abstract

North American universities depend on international teaching assistants (ITAs) as a substantial part of the teaching labor force, which has led to the idea of an ‘ITA problem’, a deficiency model which is framed as a divergence between ITAs’ linguistic competence and undergraduates’ and their parents’ expectations. This outdated positioning of ITAs as deficient diminishes the invaluable role they play within the academy. This book argues instead for an approach to ITA which recognizes them as multilingual, skilled, migrant professionals who participate in and are discursively constructed through various participant frameworks, modalities and activities. The chapters in this volume offer state-of-the-art research into ITA using a variety of methods and approaches, and as such constitute a transdisciplinary perspective which argues for the importance of dialogue between research and practice.

Abstract

This book explores the multiple ways in which doctoral programs are traversed by students, supervisors and administrators. Rather than proposing a single, homogeneous approach as the most effective form of doctoral education, the editors and contributors focus on the diversity of global approaches to the doctorate, including doctoral experiences from Australia, Finland, Chile, New Zealand and Spain. The doctorate emerges from this analysis as a highly complex, heterogeneous and situated phenomenon that resists easy solutions. Strategies that are successful in traversing the doctorate are found to be grounded in contexts that cannot necessarily be generalised to other situations: in doing so, the authors emphasise the importance of presenting a diverse array of experiences and stories. The separate and shared perspectives of doctoral students, supervisors and administrations are mapped and analysed in ways that bring their voices compellingly to life: this book will be of interest and value to students and scholars of the doctoral journey, as well as of international and comparative education.
