Abstract
This chapter, as its title suggests, examines the forces affecting doctoral education from the shared perspective of four early-career researchers (ECRs).1 We define the term early-career researchers as denoting current doctoral students as well as individuals who have completed doctoral study within the past three years and who may now be working in academic settings as well as in a variety of other employment sectors. As such, the ECR cohort may include advanced doctoral students, postdoctoral students, assistant professors, and other beginning researchers.
