Mary-Helen - You might want to look at this Ph.D. thesis (unpublished ms.) Parry, Sharon. (1997). "Doctoral study in its disciplinary context." LaTrobe University. It's nothing online but a fairly thorough study that reviews the PG student vs. the PG supervisor's perspectives on how the research went. She uses grounded theory but at least there's a background there that does reference 'lived experience' of Ph.D. students. Me - strictly the torture track - no comment I could make on any blog would do justice at this point. Re-submitting this week. Cheers, Denise --- Mary-Helen Ward <mhward@usyd.edu.au> wrote:
