Abstract
Supervising a doctoral student is an intellectually but also emotionally demanding process both for the mentee and the mentor. Writing doctoral thesis and journal articles connected to the dissertation constitute a site of anxiety for all students regardless of publication success or failure (Kamler, 2008). International context often makes the supervision process even more challenging: Language barriers and lack of culturally-specific knowledge about the demands of dissertation can hinder effective communication between international students and their supervisors (Aspland & O’Donoghue, 1994).
