Abstract
This paper explores doctoral candidates’ experiences of making progress through the doctoral space. We engage concepts associated with the ‘new mobilities’ paradigm (Urry, J. 2007. Mobilities. Cambridge: Polity Press) to provide insight into the candidate experience of the doctoral journey; exploring specifically the interplay between the fixed structure provided by institutional-level progression frameworks that are commonly implemented by UK universities to measure ‘timely progress’ across disciplines and the borderlands space that enables and facilitates intellectual freedom, creativity, becoming and adventure. Drawing on notions of ‘moorings’, ‘home on the move’, ‘connectivity and transit spaces’ and ‘rhizomic thinking’ we analyse narrative data generated through the reflective diaries of doctoral candidates at a modern university in the English Midlands to offer new insight into how universities can provide better doctoral education, that supports: candidates to make a contribution to knowledge; protects well-being; and facilitates timely completion.
