Capstone assignment title: Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who’s the Fairest of them all? An autoethnographic reflection of an emerging supervisor
Capstone assignment abstract: Internationally and locally is doctoral supervision a field of scientific scholarship (Mouton, 2019) that is established and growing (Mouton & Frick, 2021). The main aim of this assignment is to reflect on one of the Centre for Research on Evaluation, Science and Technology (CREST) learning outcomes, namely “Be familiar with ‘doctoral supervisor’ as a professional identity and ‘doctoral supervision’ as a field of scholarship.” In my reflection, I use a biographical writing style by integrating information from my own supervision experiences. It is not uncommon to use reflexive critical and narrative analysis to demonstrate the usefulness of individual experiences (Sefotho, 2018). An autoethnographic reflection of an emerging supervisor follows and I ask: Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who’s the Fairest of them all? Most of the supervision literature focus on the doctoral experience of supervisors’ perceptions of quality supervision (Bastalich, 2017); hence I used the information to conceptualise my reflection. Next follows information about the background of my personal academic journey. Then I describe ‘doctoral supervision’ as a field of scholarship. Then I reflect on my identity, roles and responsibilities as a doctoral supervisor.
