Commentary: Nurturing Transdisciplinary Learning for Doctoral Researchers: A Doctor of Education (EdD) Programme Perspective
Year: 2025
Type: editorial
Abstract: This commentary contributes to ongoing discussions about transdisciplinary learning and collaboration in doctoral programmes. The commentary briefly considers recent research on transdiciplinarity in doctoral programme design before considering the example of a recent Doctor of Education (EdD) programme development process at an Asia-Pacific university. Amongst the reflections offered here are the importance of adopting an agile mind-set to programme design and development and the need to develop programme contingency planning to anticipate organisational changes in a precarious higher education environment. Insights from this project seek to open avenues for future research following similar doctoral programme development and implementation at universities globally.
