Development of an academic identity through PhD supervision-an issue for debate

Murphy, NA; Wibberley, C

Abstract

This paper provides reflection on the journey of completing a PhD by using emergent themes that
occurred in supervision sessions as recorded in a reflective journal. The paper highlights the need to
reflect and accept decisions that can be challenging. The paper also indicates examples where past
understandings are questioned and newer insights have to be explored. A conclusion related to accepting
responsibility for what happens as a consequence of supervision sessions is debated. Finally a new
insight into identity is arrived at.
