A key context for this book is the massification of doctoral education and the consequence that many countries' higher education systems now produce more PhD graduates than there are academic jobs available. Much of the book deals with the issue of how universities can best reform their doctoral training to equip graduates to thrive in and beyond academia. This edited collection contains 27 chapters informed by reviews of existing literature and/or the authors' own empirical research, using a variety of methodologies: questionnaires, interviews, focus groups, classroom observations and analysis of written responses to training activities. Many authors are engaged in the development and delivery of formal programmes for students as well as supervisors. Other contributors range from current PhD students to senior managers in higher education. These stakeholders, along with research funders and government policy-makers, will be the audiences for this volume. - Sarah Olive, Educational Review
