Description
This volume brings together accounts from doctoral students who strengthened their paths by exercising agency in their work and their lives. Contributors who pursued doctoral student in the United States, Sweden, and Australia describe personal and professional transformations shaped by growing autonomy, competence, and connection. Drawing on support networks both within and beyond the academy, and by intentionally cultivating relationships with peers and faculty, these students learned to navigate uncertainty and ambiguity throughout their doctoral journeys. As they progressed toward degree completion, they gained confidence in their disciplinary knowledge and professional identities, resulting in meaningful and generative outcomes.
