This Summer Institute on Doctoral Education provides participants with an opportunity to explore critically the various aspects associated with the changing nature of advanced research degrees in various institutional and national contexts. Participants will gain an in depth understanding of 

1. the different traditions to doctoral education, in particular those of Europe, North America, and middle Eastern countries;

2. tensions between supply of and demand for graduates;

3. trends toward massification of doctoral education in relation to longstanding traditions and pressures to reform;

4. the impact of international higher education and the growing mobility of students and faculty on doctoral education.

The focus of this Institute will be to explore the ways in which geopolitical formations (e.g., the emergence of the EU higher education space and the Bologna process) and related funding and regulatory mechanisms have reshaped the meanings attached to doctoral education and to doctoral work in relation to larger regional and international processes. Also, we will explore the emergence of new forms of doctoral programs, either as professional degrees or as online and distance-based ones, within expanding global markets in the fields of higher education.

The aim is to bring together researchers and graduate students to explore select t aspects of doctoral education, in view of publishing and edited volume.
