Year: 2025

Type: book-review

Abstract: This review examines the book Transforming Postgraduate Education in Africa (2023), edited by Michael Anthony Samuel and Hyleen Mariaye. The book presents a collection of case studies that illustrate how doctoral supervisors and researchers have adapted and challenged the traditional hierarchical apprentice model of doctoral education, with a primary focus on cases from South Africa and Mauritius. Through collaborative projects and theoretical reflections, the authors advocate for transformative practices that empower both supervisors and doctoral candidates, offering valuable insights for reimagining doctoral education in contexts shaped by structural and systemic inequalities.
