While it is difficult to say exactly what a 'thesis' in the social sciences is, this book takes the view that it is an experience, an apprenticeship. The aim of this unconventional guide is not only to accompany young researchers on their journey, but also to initiate a collective reflection on the lessons that can be learned from this experience, both within the university and well beyond. It aims to provide doctoral students with the essential knowledge (usually dispersed and informal) they need to navigate the thesis exercise and progress in the world of research.
This collective guide to a personal exercise stands out for its unique collective methodology, and for the large amount of space given over to the views of young researchers: twenty-three authors and around thirty contributors. This book is a real immersion in the concrete and personal experiences of the thesis and an invitation to reflect on the processes of knowledge production.
In a single handbook, the authors offer content that is as rich as it is original, covering the conduct of research and fieldwork, the dissertation process and the structural issues shaping the reality of today's French university world. A collective and committed effort, this guide is a must-have if you want to experience research in the humanities and social sciences with an international dimension.
