While earning your doctoral degree, what, why, and/or how did you learn?
This book series discovers the ways in which doctoral graduates have been able to successfully navigate throughout the many obstacles to complete the doctoral journey. A collective narrative is based on the successful stories of doctoral graduates in the field of education from around the world. Each narrative will disseminate notable messages about the circumstances, situations, challenges, feats, etc. experienced prior to, during, and/or following the ‘Doctoral Journey.’ This book series is an essential piece of literature for graduate students wishing to learn what can occur throughout the ‘Doctoral Journey.’ The books are insightful, practical, and highly motivating as (1) a perfect entry point for individuals considering a doctoral degree, (2) a positive ‘nudge’ for doctoral students requiring a motivational boost, and (3) a unique view for those looking for personal insights into the doctoral journey so they can offer positive, constructive—not negative, destructive—support (e.g., new graduate supervisors, family members of graduate students). Further, this book series will offer a vast number of personal accounts and ideas that serves to be a comprehensive overview of what it is like to travel along the doctoral journey in the field of education.
