‘BUILDING AN INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH AGENDA ON DOCTORAL EDUCATION’
IDERN 2010 will focus on the wider context for doctoral education, identifying issues in undertaking doctoral research in cross-national and cross-cultural settings; critique theoretical and methodological perspectives and tools for addressing these issues; provide opportunity for participants to explore the implications for ‘my/our research and publications’; and work on building an international research agenda.
To prepare ourselves to get the best out of IDERN 2010, a list of selected references will be circulated over the next few months, and participants encouraged to offer others via the IDERN list.
Registration fee: US200 (includes materials , morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea for the two days).
PARTICIPATION IN THE IDERN MEET IS BY INVITATION.
