dc.description.abstract | This article articulates pedagogic praxis for postgraduate supervision couched
within sustainable learning environments with emancipatory aims. The paper
probes the discourses of hegemony as a form of power that relies on non-coercive
control by supervisors over students (master-apprentice model). Furthermore, it
proposes a counter-hegemonic pedagogic praxis informed by critical
emancipatory research. I amplify how postgraduate supervision could be a
liberating experience, drawing from my own experiences as part of a supervisory
team of 15 academics and cohort of 28 doctoral and 22 master’s students. The
article interrogates the struggles on the continuum of power formations between
supervisor and students. It proposes an alternative, liberating postgraduate
supervision as a pedagogic praxis to counter the dominant discourse. It concludes
by emphasising the importance of creating enabling sustainable learning
environments with a promise of a counter-hegemonic praxis that requires
rearranging master-apprentice relations. | en_US |
