Abstract
The doctoral education experience is one of the most common topics in the field of researcher development (Evans, 2011; Nguyen, 2012b). This literature typically characterises the doctoral experience as a site of tensions where doctoral students participate in multiple activities within complex and varied contexts (e.g. Golde, 2000; Grover, 2007; Jazvac-Martek, Chen, & McAlpine, 2011; McAlpine, Jazvac-Martek, & Hopwood, 2009; Robinson, 2008).
