Description for Helping Doctoral Students Write: Pedagogies for supervision Paperback. .

Helping Doctoral Students Write offers a proven approach to effective doctoral writing. By treating research as writing and writing as research, the authors offer pedagogical strategies for doctoral supervisors that will assist the production of well-argued and lively dissertations.

The first edition of this book has helped many academics and thousands of research students produce better written material. Now fully updated the second edition includes:

  • Examples from a broader range of academic disciplines
  • A new chapter on writing from the thesis for peer reviewed journals
  • More advice on reading and note taking, performance and conferences,
  • Further information on developing a personal academic writing style, and
  • Advice on the use of social media (blogs, tweets and wikis) to create trans-disciplinary and trans-national networks and conversations.

Their discussion of the complexities of forming a scholarly identity is illustrated throughout by stories and writings of actual doctoral students.

In conclusion, they present a persuasive and proven argument that universities must move away from simply auditing supervision to supporting the development of scholarly research communities. Any supervisor keen to help their students develop as academics will find the ideas and practical solutions presented in this book fascinating and insightful reading.
