Higher Education Research & Development, v21 n2 p203-14 Jul 2002

Examines historical, political, economic, and social reasons for a trend to reinvent the traditional Ph.D. (rather than develop professional doctorates), by focusing on the case of the Doctor of Education (EdD) at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto. Explores reasons for its enrollment decline as opposed to the school's Ph.D. program. (EV)
