"My Supervisors Never Cease to Believe in Me": A Reflection of an Intercultural Doctoral Supervision Relationship
About Campus, v28 n5 p33-37 2023
There has been a remarkable increase in the number of international doctoral students and domestic students from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, what has been the focus in scholarly discussions about doctoral supervision of late is intercultural supervision. That students see their supervisors' attempts to understand and listen to their histories and existing social, cultural and academic capital is both a necessary and a sufficient condition for a fruitful teamwork process. The learning, un-learning, and re-learning processes occurring within the intercultural space can be empowering both students and supervisors, resulting in changes in their emotions and even embodiment. In this article, the author reflects that what they have learned from their supervisors and their relationship is that any relationship will work as long as there is honesty, tolerance, understanding, openness, patience, and trust.
