ABSTRACT

This paper examines supervisors at a reform university where most supervision concerns undergraduate and Master's project work. Drawing on Grant's ([2018]. ‘Assembling Ourselves Differently? Contesting the Dominant Imaginary of Doctoral Supervision’. Parallax 24 (3): 356–370) understanding of being a supervisor as an ongoing process of assembling oneself, it focuses on the role of this institutional framework as an ‘outside’ element in this assembling process. I argue that it shapes the conditions of that assembling through the changing conceptions and temporalities of supervision . While supervisors continue to aspire to the original conception of supervision as a distinct pedagogical mode that is – even for undergraduates – akin to apprenticeship, palpable quickening and demands for instruction-like supervision endanger this conception. This temporal compression, together with the prevalence of short-term cyclicality of projects and co-negotiation of multiple longer-term temporal frames of becoming a supervisor, makes for a temporally multi-layered and particularly intense supervisory practice.

摘要

本文考察了一所改革大学的导师，该大学的大部分导师都关注本科生和硕士项目工作。借鉴格兰特（[2018]。“以不同的方式组装我们自己？挑战博士生监督的主导想象”。Parallax 24（3）：356-370）将导师视为一个持续的组装自己的过程，它重点关注角色将该制度框架视为组装过程中的“外部”要素。我认为，它通过不断变化的监督概念和时间性来塑造集会的条件。虽然导师们仍然渴望将监督作为一种独特的教学模式（即使对于本科生来说）类似于学徒制，但明显的加速和对指导式监督的要求危及了这一概念。
