ABSTRACT
As doctoral students from New Zealand and Australia, advised by supervision teams with a diversity of critical realist experience from limited to none, we came independently to the 2018 Critical Realism conference – primed to seek increased understanding, confidence, motivation, and reassurance. We certainly found these things from the pre-conference, presentations, and individuals within the critical realist community. We also found each other, and a virtual writing group was born. This article is a description of what we did, why, and the outcomes we experienced over the final two years completing our theses. It identifies the structures, contexts, motivations, and mechanisms from which our emotional, critical realist and writing-related outcomes emerged. We outline the roles of serendipitous timing, culture, different disciplinary approaches, administrative structures, and types of interactions on the social learning we developed. We anchor our discussion in recent theoretical literature about the role of writing groups in doctoral education.

远距离批判现实主义学生的孤独:一个博士写作团的故事
摘要
作为来自新西兰和澳大利亚的博士生,在具有从有限到没有批判现实主义经验的多样化监督团队的建议下,我们独立参加了 2018 年批判现实主义会议——准备寻求更多的理解、信心、动力和保证。我们当然从会前、演讲和批判现实主义社区中的个人中发现了这些东西。我们也找到了彼此,一个虚拟写作小组诞生了。本文描述了我们在完成论文的最后两年中所做的事情、原因以及所经历的结果。它确定了我们的情感、批判现实主义和写作相关成果出现的结构、背景、动机和机制。我们概述了偶然的时机、文化、不同学科方法的作用,我们开发的社会学习的行政结构和互动类型。我们在最近关于写作小组在博士教育中的作用的理论文献中进行了讨论。
