"a well-written and well-researched book, drawing heavily on a solid evidence base which supports much of its content. ...a comprehensive and useful text for anybody who is thinking about or currently completing a doctoral programme. It can be read cover to cover or it can be 'dipped' into. I would recommend it to women students" Gender and Education
Endorsements from Research Students:
'I read it cover-to-cover in one sitting - it was really gripping stuff and I couldn't put it down! I think you've got the mode of address exactly right, and immeasurably more so than what's already on the market. I like the academic feel of it, as it implies you think your readers are intelligent adults, capable of understanding complex issues and wanting to make informed, considered decisions...'
'Thanks for your input.. about...PhD assessment/vivas. It made me aware of the sad experience that I went through in the 1980s when I undertook a part-time PhD...I had little contact with my supervisor ...and had a viva without any preparation or information about what to expect. ... I didn't know of any appeal procedure until you mentioned it.'
'You manage to cover an enormous amount of ground, while, at the same time, being mindful of the need to provide a certain amount of depth on each issue you address'
This guide is designed to help women - since we are less likely than men to be encouraged to do doctorates, are slower to put ourselves forward, and tend to operate on the belief that (in academia at least) we will be judged solely on the quality of our work. This book will help women undertake and enjoy serious scholarly work whilst recognizing the wider 'rules' of the academic game.
The author compares the current situation in the UK with that of North America and Australia, and discusses the pros and cons of PhDs and new professional doctorates. Thought provoking case studies of the diverse experiences of home and international, young and older, heterosexual and lesbian students across the disciplines make illuminating reading.
This book is an essential read for women (and men) starting, midway through or finishing their doctorates.
