Recenzii

"Bravo to all the contributors of this edited collection. The editors, in particular, worked tirelessly to cull a diverse body of experiences, voices, and identities in exploring the (auto) (duo) (collaborative) ethnographies of doctoral journeys. This is a timely collection as the need for doctoral curricula continues to shift with the sociocultural and political demands of the world." – Gloria Park, Professor, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, USA

Curating the Self and Embracing the Community: Autoethnographic Evocations of U.S. Doctoral Students in the Fields of Social Sciences and Humanities is a unique collection of autoethnographic narratives that offers profound insights into the trials and triumphs of pursuing a doctoral degree. The book beautifully weaves together personal accounts from U.S. doctoral students, providing a captivating exploration of the intersection between the personal and the communal in their doctoral journeys. With its carefully curated stories, the book captures the challenges, transformations, and empowering communities that shape personal growth and discovery. This thought-provoking and inspiring volume is a must-read for anyone exploring, or currently engaged in, a doctoral journey in the humanities and social sciences.” – Silvia Vaccino-Salvadore, Assistant Professor, American University of Sharjah, UAE

Curating the Self and Embracing the Community: Autoethnographic Evocations of U.S. Doctoral Students in the Fields of Social Sciences and Humanities offers present and aspiring doctoral students a unique perspective often overlooked in academic discourse.
