Keywords

Abstract

The number of professional doctorates in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand has skyrocketed in the past 50 years (Adams, Bondy, Ross, Dana, & Kennedy-Lewis, 2014; Kot & Hendel, 2012; Zusman, 2013). Doctoral education is becoming more collaborative on a global scale as ease of communication, sharing of data, and physical mobility has improved drastically in recent decades (European University Association, 2013). What seems like a diffuse landscape for the provision of doctoral education is actually driven by strong currents of convergence in which the same issues can be seen across different continents. However, how these issues are addressed tends to be contextually based and influenced by factors such as cultural history, politics, and economics (Kot & Hendel, 2012; Zusman, 2013).
