As academics we contribute to and are moulded by influences within and beyond the academy. There are broad economic, political and intellectual agendas that shape the ways in which academic knowledge is produced and exchanged (Lee & Aitchison, 2009). Higher Degree Research (HDR) supervision practices impact research practices, forms of knowledge production and subjectivities of graduates. Research supervision is therefore a complex process and through it candidates are formed as particular kinds of selves in terms of their identities, skills, capabilities and dispositions (Lee & Boud, 2009) .
