Spaces, journeys and new horizons for postgraduate supervision

Following four books on postgraduate studies and supervision in the 'Studies into Higher Education' series, the title for this fifth volume is: 'Spaces, journeys and new horizons for postgraduate supervision'.
The idea of 'spaces' refers to the variety of spaces where supervision and postgraduate work take place: personal, individual, disciplinary, collective, institutional, material, physical, virtual, and other spaces. The 'journey' metaphor has been debated as useful but probably insufficient to capture all the complexities and intricacies of supervision and postgraduate work. The term 'journey' is thus used here to indicate beginnings, movements, challenges, obstacles, assistance, support and other dynamic features of the supervision-study interface. The notion of 'horizon' associates with concepts such as transitions, changes, ranges of experience, outlook, perspective, vista, among others. The chosen volume title was thus sufficiently comprehensive and open to theorise, report, discuss and debate particular aspects of research on postgraduate supervision in its current variety and complexity.
