Supervising Postgraduate Research: Contexts and Processes, Theories and Practices presents a range of issues within the following frameworks: spaces and places for supervision; supervision within changing degree frameworks; and research supervision management and models. The text is intended for research supervisors and research students. Readers will discover a range of positions and practices within. Such variation is deliberate as it is intended to expose complexity and to encourage the reader to consider research supervision from a number of vantage points.

Supervising Postgraduate Research emerged from a “research on research” conference focussing on research supervision. The contributors include experienced supervisors, successfully completed doctoral students and supervisor development program leaders.

The SOLTAR series (Studies on Learning, Teaching and Research) raises issues related to teaching and learning as well as research of relevance to university educators, students, professional development staff and curriculum support personnel. The series provides varied instances where educators reflect on their own practices in terms of their respective theoretical positions. A divergence of views and practices on topics, such as research supervision, supervising postgraduate research and E-learning in the university, are presented. Further, the series seeks to encourage other research practitioners to reflect on their own theory and practice, with a view to pushing boundaries and extending repertoires as well as options.
