| Description: |
Offering a different approach to doctoral writing supervision, this book provides pedagogical strategies to help the production of well-argued dissertations. It argues that making an original contribution to scholarly knowledge requires doctoral candidates to do both text work and identity work. |
| Synopsis: |
This essential guide offers a new approach to doctoral writing, written specifically for doctoral supervisors. Rejecting the DIY websites and manuals that promote a privatised skills-based approach to writing research, Kamler and Thomson offer a new framework for scholarly work to help doctorate students produce clear and well-argued dissertations. Drawing on a wide range of research and hands-on experience, the authors argue that making an original contribution to scholarly knowledge requires doctoral candidates to do both text and identity work. Their discussion of the complexities of forming a scholarly identity is illustrated by the stories and writing of real doctoral students. |
