In our rapidly globalising world, the global scholar is a key concept for reimagining the roles of academics at the nexus of the global and the local.

This book critically explores the implications of the concept for understanding postgraduate studies and supervision. It uses three conceptual lenses -

horizon , currency and trajectory - to organise the thirteen chapters, concluding with a reflection on the implications of Covid-19 for postgraduate

studies and supervision. Authors bring their perspectives on the global scholar from a variety of contexts, including South Africa, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Chile, Germany, Cyprus, Kenya and Israel. They explore issues around policy, research and practice, sharing a concern with the relation between the local and the global, and a passion for advancing postgraduate studies and supervision.
