Postgraduate Supervision: Future foci for the knowledge society 
by M. Fourie-Malherbe, R. Albertyn, C. Aitchison & 
E.  Bitzer (Eds.) (2016)

The 24 chapters in this book move from deliberations on 
challenges for postgraduate supervision at macro level (such 
as the pressure to increase postgraduate output and the 
implications of increasingly managerialist institutions) to meso 
level matters (the form and function of postgraduate education 
in specific countries) to the micro level (rich case studies of 
individual institutions, programmes and supervisors). The 
publication provides very useful insights into multiple aspects 

of supervision and serves as a rich source in identifying future research possibilities and 
agendas in gearing up postgraduate education and supervision for the knowledge society.

Postgraduate Study in South Africa: Surviving and Succeeding 
by L. Frick, P. Motshoane, C. McMaster & C. Murphy (Eds.) 
(2016)

The book explores concerns about the lack of higher education 
transformation around issues of equity, curriculum reform, 
language and race, and how students navigate higher education 
complexities. Students’ self-reflective abilities, creativity 
and pragmatic approaches to surviving and succeeding are 
indicators that postgraduate student success is as much 
internally as externally determined. Each of the 20 chapters 
speaks from a uniquely South African perspective. The editors 

have tried to remain true to the voice of each contributor, while simultaneously providing a 
coherent body of scholarly work.
