Biography

Susan Carter is Senior Lecturer in the Centre for Learning and Research in Higher Education (CLeaR), University of Auckland, New Zealand.

Deborah Laurs is Senior Learning Advisor in Student Learning Te Taiako, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.

Robyn Barnacle, School of Graduate Research, RMIT University

Overall I believe this book proposal has merit. The editors – particularly Susan Carter – and many of the contributors are well known within certain circles within Australian and New Zealand and – to a lesser extent – UK. However, the inclusion of Anthony Pare may lead to interest in Canada and Pat Thomson may lead to greater interest in the UK.

Terry D Evans Emeritus Professor at Deakin University

The editors are very experienced at this sort of editorial work on doctoral processes and have earned international reputations for their efforts. A major strength is that the topic is enduring and important. Given the ways that supervisory preparation and development is undertaken in universities, it is debatable whether a specific book would be in broad demand; it is more likely that specific chapters would be copied and used for supervisor workshops, courses etc.
