Changing International Practices in Doctoral Education
Doctoral degree work has undergone unprecedented change in the past ten years, in response to major international shifts in the role of the university and in the disciplines in knowledge production and the management of intellectual work. This paper reviews current research into these changes and raises a set of key questions about globalising trends in doctoral degree work. The paper suggests some major directions for trans-national research into doctoral education.
