The authors’ commitment to doctoral supervision in their particular context is shown in each chapter. Many edited volumes bring together the voices of often-established researchers; in this book, we hear first-hand the voices of novice supervisors, who are willing to learn and share their insights and experiences in doctoral supervision. This perspective makes the unique strength and originality of the book.

This book is for anyone involved in the research and practice of doctoral supervision, in Africa, and the global context. Readers and doctoral supervisors outside Africa will learn much about the challenging world of doctoral supervision in Africa.
