Abstract
This book was catalysed by, and primarily draws on, the reflective experiences of fifteen southern African academics working collaboratively to enhance their doctoral supervision knowledge and practice. This first chapter explores the need for such work, it’s positioning within global supervision practices, development and norms, and the cultural and contextual constraints on those. It begins by introducing the shape of the book as a whole, contextualising the book’s contribution by scoping what is known internationally about recent developments in doctoral study and its supervision. It analyses the genesis of the recent southern African collaborative supervisory development structures adopted, and the related design and comparative research, offering early evidence of the model as a richly generative, systematic, sustainable and affordable approach to developing an area of academic work that is often under-valued in institutional structures and rewards. Further, it argues for the wide transferability of such a model. It concludes by analysing some of the key contextual features of the systems within which contributors work and develop their academic supervision practices.
