Reviews

“The text resonates with my 25 years in academia (including difficult challenges faced when being a graduate advisor) and it resonates with the 20 doctoral students I have supervised to completion during that time.” – Anthony Clarke, University of British Columbia “Unlike other similar volumes, The Doctoral Journey offers a new approach – it represents authentic experiences as diverse as people pursuing doctoral degrees and institutions offering them. The book is original because it offers readers an opportunity to see how real people live through personal and academic challenges, how they develop as future scholars, and how they learn to be compassionate and ‘stay real’ as they complete their journeys. It is the richness and diversity of the experiences and personal backgrounds of the contributors that make this book outstanding.” – Tatiana Gounko, University of Victoria
