The book offers important insights into the challenging yet rewarding journey of undertaking a PhD. Written by students, for students, the book explores a range of case studies from creative arts and humanities doctoral students, embracing a cognitive, emotional and transformational metaphor of the journey. The volume is organised around themes and concerns identified as important by PhD students, such as building resilience and working with supervisors, and includes personal stories, case studies, scholarly signposts and key take-away points relevant to all doctoral settings. With perspectives from all stages of the doctoral journey, this book is sure to become a valuable support to students and supervisors alike, as well as those working in research education and training.

'This book is a rare example of students drawing on – and talking back to – the education literature on PhD students. Although this book is deeply practical, offering many strategies and ideas for people engaged with doctoral education, it is also deeply thoughtful. For this reason alone it deserves a space on every academic supervisor’s shelf – and in the libraries of enterprising PhD students.' */Associate Professor Inger Mewburn/*/, aka _The Thesis Whisperer_/
