Acknowledgements
I wish to thank the Faculty and Staff of Concordia University of Edmonton (CUE; Canada) for ongoing support in my research, teaching, and service since I joined the Academy in 2015. This book has come to fruition in no small measure through the institutional support. Thank you to Brynn Larsen-Hafner (CUE Research Assistant). Thank you also to Dr. Maureen Stratton, Ms. Constance Murphy, and Mr. Paul Gagné for their review assistance.
I am grateful to the amazing scholars—doctoral graduates—who have willingly contributed to this book project. They have not only provided the readers with profound descriptions and analyses of their doctoral journeys, but also with proven strategies that worked well for them along their successful journeys. Each author has brought their A-game to the chapters that delve into the good, the bad, and the ugly that can be used to describe the doctoral journey. The authors should be commended for the level of depth within their chapters.
I am grateful to the staff at Brill | Sense (along with the peer reviewers) for their willingness, dedication, and expertise in guiding me through the publication process of this book project.
Lastly, I wish to acknowledge and thank my family for their consistent unwavering support. To Ashleigh, Kane, and Brooke: Your presence, support, and active listening to my scholarly goals and ambitions have provided the context in which I take comfort, inspiration, and impulse into my life. This book does not reach completion without your unconditional support.
