Abstract
This chapter focuses on the doctoral summer school as a challenging pedagogy
for doctoral education, in which the traditional supervisory relationship and the
disciplinary curriculum are deconstructed through intensive group processes.
We draw on our experiences as pedagogues at the Roskilde University Graduate
School in Lifelong Learning which has hosted an international summer school
for the last ten years. We describe the new learning spaces created and explore
the democratic group processes and the collaborative action learning involved
when discipline and stage of study are set to the side in this multi-paradigmatic,
multi-national context. Despite the wide range of participants in terms of length
of study, focus and methodological approach, the respite from supervisory
pedagogies and the careful critiques of multi-national peer ‘opponents’ is often
transformative in the doctoral students’ research subjectivities and continuing
journeys.
Keywords: doctoral summer school; doctoral pedagogy; transformative
learning.
