Coaching and Mentoring for Academic Development
Learning through dialogue brings a powerful opportunity to navigate professional demands and meet the challenges of a turbulent world. Written for all who mentor or coach in universities, this book addresses a critical question: how can mentoring and coaching be an effective and accessible way to support researcher and academic development?
The Hidden Curriculum in Doctoral Education
This book explores the concept of the ‘hidden curriculum’ within doctoral education. It highlights the unofficial channels of genuine learning typically acquired by doctoral students independent of the physical and metaphorical walls of academia. The doctorate is a huge and complex undertaking which requires a range of support beyond academic foundations. The exchange between official and hidden curricula is therefore key, not just for achieving the qualification, but to also achieve transformative growth. This book offers a framework for a ‘doctoral learning ecology model’ to scaffold learning and sustain wellbeing by leveraging both formal and hidden curricula. This illuminating book will be of interest and value to doctoral researchers, supervisors, and mentors.
