Celebrating Diversity in Becoming an Educational Researcher
About this ebook
The reflective aspects of the narrated stories also include ‘what I wish I knew before I embarked’ upon the researcher journey. These wise words, drawing on lived-experiences, are useful for educational researchers, educational policymakers drawing on research and also those responsible for designing doctoral programmes.
The penultimate chapter also introduces the passionate voices of the authors that convey the true reality of learning as they develop their identities, appropriate new forms of knowledge, knowing and understandings. In addition to this, the use of metaphors brings alive each authors’ experiences to demonstrate how this journey is profoundly transformational for everyone!
