ABSTRACT

An important component of PhD students’ educational experiences is the understanding they develop of their academic identity. In this study, we explore PhD students’ expectations and lived realities during their studies through the lens of Bourdieu’s theory of practice. We show that doctoral students perceive the PhD as an all-consuming endeavor and, at the same time, a degree of competing demands. Importantly, several doctoral students’ academic identities were laden with conceptions of marginalization, which evoked feelings of disempowerment and lead to a lack of agency. Therefore, this study advocates for a doctoral environment where different forms of human capital are valued and the voices of PhD students are respected within the academy. This will ensure that future scholars are able to enter the academy with a strong sense of who they are and where they fit within their field.

博士学位中的人力资本和学术身份概念:被剥夺权利的叙事

摘要

博士生教育经历的重要组成部分是他们对学业身份的理解。在这项研究中,我们将以布迪厄实践理论为视角,探索博士生的期望和生活现实。我们表明,博士生认为博士是一项全力以赴的工作,同时,在一定程度上是相互竞争的需求。重要的是,一些博士生的学术身份充满了边缘化的概念,这引起了丧失权能的感觉并导致缺乏代理。因此,本研究提倡在博士环境中重视各种形式的人力资本,并在学院内尊重博士生的声音。
