    Servant Scholarship
    (2024-06-04) Broderick, Maggie
    This Open Education Resource (OER) is designed to guide emerging scholars as they embark toward participation in the broader scholarly community. Many doctoral students, in particular, have questions about approaching and pursuing scholarly publications and presentations, collaborating with others, and finding their place in academia. The content of this booklet centers around the guiding principle and mindset of Servant Scholarship. A framework for Servant Scholarship that builds on established literature on the notion and practice of Servant Leadership is presented. Theoretical and practical guidance on participating with this framework in mind are presented to help scholars understand their roles in academia and choose a rewarding path. The metaphor of weaving a tapestry is utilized throughout to represent how individuals and groups of scholars contribute to lasting products and processes in academia over time.

    Developing Yourself as a Doctoral Learner
    (2023-12-08) Allen , Brian; Bakari , Marie
    This three-part presentation demystifies strategic elements of the doctoral mindset needed to understand and succeed along the doctoral journey. The presentations cover the foundational elements of education that bring most learners to the doctoral level of academic effort. We address the key skills of linking and aligning learning, decision-making, and accepting the gift of feedback. We review the danger of applying logical fallacies, identifying a problem, and narrowing the score of research for success. We cover the principles of time management and logical organization of reviewed literature. We examine how conducting a personal SWOT analysis can help doctoral students focus on research within their respective domains toward developing a solutions mindset. Finally, we address the need for full ownership and stewardship of the doctoral student as the agent of their own educational success.
