Abstract

[This chapter focuses on (1) the changing role of doctoral education (and the doctoral student) in the context of the global university and (2) the role of government funding policies in these changes. The repositioning of the research university as a central institution within the “knowledge economy,” the increasing use of research outputs as the primary inputs to global rankings, and the complex pressures associated with globalization all suggest major changes in the role and positioning of doctoral education in major research universities. These changes include the rise of Mode 2 knowledge— that is, knowledge produced in collaboration with parties outside the university—in the context of doctoral research, the increased corn-modification of knowledge and education, and a shift in emphasis toward doctoral programs in science and technology. Our analysis of recent policies and trends in Canadian higher education suggests that there are national nuances to these global trends. Doctoral education continues to be defined in national terms, and, given the heavy dependence of doctoral programs on research funds, these programs are influenced by national research policies and funding priorities. We begin this chapter with a historical review of federal government policies related to doctoral education in Canada.]
