Abstract

In 2000 Barnett discussed the transformation of university scholarship and research in a world he described as ‘supercomplex’ (Barnett, 2000). It is more so now. Even doctoral research problems increasingly require collaborative multi-disciplinary support so that theoretical and practical outcomes can be made relevant, impactful, and accessible to diverse audiences. Although universities should provide doctoral supervisory training to enable supervisors to excel in this current and any new context, we posit here ways in which supervisors could take greater agency in both achieving CPD and in gaining help from other colleagues with specific areas of expertise so that doctoral research becomes truly a team effort.
