Intercultural Postgraduate Supervision by Catherine Manathunga Pdf

The impact of globalisation and aggressive marketing by universities has increased the flow of international or culturally diverse students enrolling in postgraduate research degree programs outside their own countries. As access to postgraduate education widens, more local culturally diverse and Indigenous students are also enrolling in higher degree studies. As a result, significantly more academics now engage in intercultural supervision or supervising students who are culturally different to themselves. This book argues that empowering intercultural supervision can result from more nuanced, critical and theoretically-based understandings of time, place and knowledge. It shows how a range of ‘Southern’ theories (including postcolonial, Indigenous, feminist, social and cultural geography theories) about history, geography and knowledge can offer fresh insights into intercultural supervision. The author suggests that by using the conceptual tools offered by these Southern theories, the more complex but potentially rich aspects of intercultural supervision can be better understood and grappled with. In particular, these theories enable us to challenge assumptions about the universality and timelessness of Northern knowledge, and to create space for the recovery and further development of Southern, Eastern and Indigenous knowledges within intercultural supervision. This book will be of value to academic supervisors and postgraduate students, especially those engaged in intercultural supervision, as well as researchers and scholars in the field of higher education.

Indigenous Postgraduate Education by Karen Trimmer,Debra Hoven,Pigga Keskitalo Pdf

This book focuses on Indigenous participation in postgraduate education. The collaborating editors, from the contexts of Australian, Canadian and Nordic postgraduate education, have brought together voices of Indigenous postgraduate students and researchers about strategies to support postgraduate education for Indigenous students globally and to promote sustainable solution-focused and change-focused strategies to support Indigenous postgraduate students. The role of higher education institutions in meeting the needs of Indigenous students is considered by contributing scholars, including issues related to postgraduate education pedagogies, flexible learning and technologies. On a more fundamental level the book provides a valuable resource by giving voice to Indigenous postgraduate students themselves who share directly the stories of their experience, their inspirations and difficulties in undertaking postgraduate study. This component of the book gives precedence to the issues most relevant and important to students themselves for consideration by universities and researchers. Bringing the topic and the voices of Indigenous students clearly into the public domain provides a catalyst for discussion of the issues and potential strategies to assist future Indigenous postgraduate students. This book will assist higher education providers to develop understanding of how Indigenous postgraduate students and researchers negotiate research cultures and agendas that permeate higher education from the past to ensure the experience of postgraduate students is both rich in regard to data to be collected and culturally safe in approach; what connections, gaps and contradictions occur at the intersections between past models of postgraduate study and emerging theories around intercultural perspectives, including the impact of cultural and linguistic differences on Indigenous students' learning experiences; how Indigenous students’ and researchers’ personal and professional understandings, beliefs and experiences about what typifies knowledge and research or adds value to postgraduate studies are constructed, shared or challenged; and how higher education institutions manage the potential challenges and risks of developing pedagogies to ensure that they give voice and power to Indigenous postgraduate students.

Postgraduate Supervision by Magda Fourie-Malherbe Pdf

The 24 chapters contained in this volume provide diverse but also congruent perspectives on future foci for research into postgraduate education and supervision in the knowledge society.The chapters move from deliberations on challenges for postgraduate supervision at macro level (such as the pressure to increase postgraduate output and the implications of increasinglymanagerialist institutions) to meso level matters (the form and function of postgraduate education in specific countries) to the micro (rich case studies of individual institutions, programmes and supervisors).

The Critical Turn in Language and Intercultural Communication Pedagogy by Maria Dasli,Adriana Raquel Díaz Pdf

This edited research volume explores the development of what can be described as the ‘critical turn’ in intercultural communication pedagogy, with a particular focus on modern/foreign language education. The main aim is to trace the realisations of this critical turn against a background of unequal power relations, and to illuminate the role that radical culture educators can play in the making of a more democratic and egalitarian social order. The volume takes as a starting point the idea that criticality draws on a number of intellectual traditions, which do not always focus on social and political critique, and argues that because ideological hegemony impacts on the meanings that people create and share, intercultural communication pedagogy ought to locate itself within wider socio-political contexts. With reference points drawn from critical and transnational social theory, critical pedagogy and intercultural theory, contributors to this volume provide readers with powerful ways that show how this can be achieved, and together assess the impact that their understanding of criticality can make on modern/foreign language education. The volume is divided into three major parts, namely: ‘theorising critically’, ‘researching critically’ and ‘teaching critically’.

Spaces, journeys and new horizons for postgraduate supervision by Eli Bitzer,Liezel Frick,Magda Fourie-Malherbe,Kirsi Pyh„lt” Pdf

After centuries of barely visible incremental development, postgraduate education has experienced twenty years of considerable turbulence as governments recognise its latent power, some responding more quickly than others and each in different ways. This anthology, drawing on research, deep reflection and praxis, illustrates the current situation in a range of geographical environments that result from such interventions, or lack of them, providing readers both with information about neglected contexts, challenges and concerns and with stimulating ideas about how they might be managed more effectively.

Pushing Boundaries in Postgraduate Supervision by Eli Bitzer,Ruth Albertyn,Liezel Frick,Barbara Grant,Frances Kelly Pdf

This book is a very important contribution to the growing body of work on postgraduate, and specifically doctoral, education ... I find the metaphor of pushing boundaries to be very appropriate, as it suggests a field of study and a range of behaviours and institutional organisational approaches to postgraduate education that are dynamic and characterised by fluidity, creativity and challenge... Readers will gain new theoretical perspectives, ideas for improved practice, and fresh perspectives on boundaries and pressing issues that deserve to be pushed and conceptualised in new ways. - Professor Ann Austin (Higher, Adult and Lifelong Education Michigan State University)

Doctoral Research Supervision, Pedagogy and the PhD by Bill Green,Catherine Manathunga,Alison Lee Pdf

The book brings together for the first time a range of integrated essays produced out of a programme of research and scholarship designed to better understand advanced-level research supervision as pedagogy. Doctoral Research Supervision, Pedagogy and the PhD questions the traditions of how doctoral work is accomplished, in the context of the changing role of research and universities in contemporary societies. Focused on research supervision and the pedagogies of doctoral work, the book brings together for the first time a range of integrated essays produced out of a programme of research and scholarship designed to better understand advanced-level research supervision as pedagogy. Those original ground-breaking chapters are framed by new work, extending the overall argument, reflecting on the emergence and development of doctoral education research, and evaluating the state of the field today. This book is of interest to scholars and postgraduate researchers in higher education, postgraduate and doctoral education, supervision and the philosophy and theory of higher education.

Intercultural Supervision in Therapeutic Practice by Baffour Ababio Pdf

Intercultural Supervision in Therapeutic Practice extends the dynamics of intercultural principles beyond the scope of the therapy room to the supervisory relationship. The book spotlights reflections from diverse cultural and 'racial' identities and modalities that facilitate critical exchanges and conversations amongst the contributors without the constriction of rank. Trainee and qualified therapists who are not supervisors highlight the radical perspective of their placement supervision experience within intercultural settings and some pitfalls experienced by those who did not. Chapters by experienced supervisors describe and review past successful interventions and errors, with recommendations for practice. Themes covered include supervision of trainees within agencies; multi-disciplinary women working with survivors of domestic violence; and the supervision of therapists working with refugees and asylum seekers. At once contemporary and historical, this volume will serve as a reference to students, clinicians, inquiring academics undertaking supervision training placements, and supervisors and practitioners seeking to offer supervision to multi-disciplinary mental health practitioners.

Wellbeing in Doctoral Education by Lynette Pretorius,Luke Macaulay,Basil Cahusac de Caux Pdf

This book offers a range of personal and engaging stories that highlight the diverse voices of doctoral students as they explore their own learning journeys. Through these stories, doctoral students call for an academic environment in which the discipline-specific knowledge gained during their PhD is developed in concert with the skills needed to maintain personal wellbeing, purposely reflect on experiences, and build intercultural competence. In recent years, wellbeing has been increasingly recognised as an important aspect of doctoral education. Yet, few resources exist to help those who support doctoral students. Wellbeing in Doctoral Education provides a voice for doctoral students to advocate for improvements to their own educational environment. Both the struggles and the strategies for success highlighted by the students are, therefore, invaluable not only for the students themselves, but also their families, their social networks, and academia more broadly. Importantly, the doctoral students’ stories should be a clarion call for those in decision-making positions in academia. These narratives demonstrate that it is imperative that academic institutions invest in providing the skills and support that doctoral students need to succeed academically and flourish emotionally.

Graduate Research Supervision in the Developing World by Erik Blair,Danielle Watson,Shikha Raturi Pdf

Recognising that graduate supervisory practice is not an abstracted academic pursuit, but an activity that is subjectively bounded by content and context, impacted by the experiences and beliefs of supervisee and supervisor, this text explores the unique dynamics of graduate supervision in the Global South, as perceived and experienced by students and academics within those same contexts. Bringing together contributions which reflect a rich diversity of perspectives on supervisory practices at regional universities in the Caribbean and South Pacific, Graduate Research Supervision in the Developing World explores how supervisors navigate unscripted supervisory terrain; contextualise supervisory best practices; establish roles and relationships, and work to understand supervisees’ needs. By highlighting the effect on graduate supervision of complex sociocultural interplay and the relationship between learning environments and student success, contributors look to locate best practices through analyses of stories of success and failure. As the contributors demonstrate, there is a need to restructure the standardised operation of graduate supervision across diverse faculties. This text will be of great interest to graduate supervisors and their supervisees as well as scholars in the fields of continuing professional development and higher education, in international and comparative education and Sociology of Education.
