With a global imperative for increased doctoral completions, universities around the world are providing more generic support. This book represents collegial cross-fertilisation focussed on generic pedagogy, provided by contributors who are practitioners working and researching at the pan-disciplinary level which complements supervision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the UK, funding for two weeks annual training in transferable skills for each doctoral scholarship recipient has caused an explosion of such teaching, which is now flourishing elsewhere too; for example, endorsed by the Carnegie Initiative on the Doctorate in the USA and developed extensively in Australia. Generic doctoral support is expanding, yet is a relatively new kind of teaching, practised extensively only in the last decade and with its own ethical, practical and pedagogical complexities. These raise a number of questions:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow is generic support funded and situated within institutions?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShould some sessions be compulsory for doctoral students?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere do the boundaries lie between what can be taught generically or left to supervisors as discipline-specific?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo what extent is generic work pastoral?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat are its main benefits?
