Dear Chris and listers
In my recent international review of doctoral programs in design (n=154) I noted among other themes in the curriculum landscape the increasing interest/insistence on students publishing along the way - including through conference papers. My claim (one I am currently formulating for publication and insisting on with my own research students) is that such an active approach to knowledge production during (not after) the doctoral process benefits everybody. In addition, there is also a strong stream in program documentation recommending co-authoring with supervisors and other academics as a beneficial approach to the apprenticeship of novices to research communities of practice. Again, this is a strategy I want to make part of my own still early career supervision platform. Both these strategies I saw being well run during my three years in a medicine and health faculty and are ones I strongly recommend. Cheers.
