The PhD at the End of the World : Provocations for the Doctorate and a Future Contested

This book addresses a world-wide audience with reference to a global problem: how the PhD can serve the planet. It examines the role of the PhD, in and of itself, and, as representative of research, the university and evidence-based knowledge, in relation to global crisis and the future of humanity. As such, it speaks to the scholar, the teacher, the policy-maker and the administrator concerned with the role of higher education’s highest award at a time of great global crisis. The approach is critical in that it offers diverse views on these issues and does not seek to privilege one single school of thought. The collected articles span theoretical reflections on key issues through to case-study examples of how PhDs are being deployed and re-thought to address global issues.Author: Barnacle, Robyn,editor,Cuthbert, Denise,editor Contributors: Barnacle, Robyn,editor,Cuthbert, Denise,editor Binding: paperback Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: 1st ed. 2021 Published/Release Date: 4 Mar 2022 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Springer Nature Switzerland AG Author/Director/Artist: Robyn Barnacle Dimension (cm): 235x155x13 mm Package Dimension (cm): 16x235x155 mm Item Weight (g): 349 Package Weight (g): 350
