Abstract

I den här reflekterande essän diskuterar jag hur doktorandhandledare kan bidra till en doktorands identitetsskapande som forskare, och deras insocialisering i ett bredare akademiskt sammanhang. Jag diskuterar forskarutbildningen som identitetsarbete, relationella aspekter i handledningsprocessen, och argumenterar slutligen för hur principer från self-determination theory kan användas som ett vägledande ramverk för att förstå vilka faktorer och drivkrafter som är betydeslefulla i doktorandens identitetsskapande. Jag avslutar med att diskutera hur ett sådant ramverk kan vara användbart för en pågående reflekterande praktik i doktorandhandledning.
