Beskrivning
Winner of the Best WAC Edited Collection Award 2025Unique focus on thesis writing from the students’ perspectiveCompleting a thesis is a crucial final stage in many bachelor’s and master’s programmes across Europe and beyond. However, the process of thesis writing, how it is experienced by the writers, and how those experiences impact on writing remain underexplored. This book examines the student experience of thesis writing through an interdisciplinary perspective drawing on theories of learning, emotions, and genre and narrative/discursive analysis. As a result of this approach, the thesis is reconceptualised as a multilayered experience from the point of view of student writers. The chapters, which arose out of a collaborative research project across 10 European countries, employ an innovative combination of methods including the use of journey plots to provide a complex picture of the thesis writing process, which will be of interest to readers involved in academic writing at all levels.

Recensioner i media

Many BA and MA degree programmes do not provide adequate training and research supervisors may struggle to teach students all that is required at this level. In this timely and much-needed volume, the authors enable insight into supervisees’ experiences of the research process, with particular attention to the epistemological, methodological and emotional challenges related to becoming an early career researcher.
