Abstract: | The phenomenon of Professional Doctorates in Australia has come at a time of great change in the higher education sector.
Such change includes an intensified imperative for universities to establish ‘partnerships’ with industry and the professions.
The Professional Doctorate is, in part, a consequence of such changes and is also helping to effect them. However, in its
examination of the Education Doctorate, this paper problematises the notion of partnerships and indeed the various policy
constructions of the parties involved. Through fictionalised accounts of standpoints of a higher education policy maker, an
EdD student, an academic in an EdD program and a member of the education industry, it identifies some of the tensions involved
within and between such categories. In so doing it suggests some matters that require research and pedagogical attention. |
