Doctoral Peer Writing Groups as a Means of Promoting Well-Being
Doody, Sara; McDonnell, Maggie; Reid, Erin; Marshall, Sarah C.
LEARNing Landscapes, v10 n2 p145-157 Spr 2017
This collaborative autoethnography explores how a doctoral peer writing group (PWG) has become an important means of fostering well-being among the authors, who are four doctoral scholars. Focusing on how writing in doctoral education can act as a barrier to well-being, defined as feeling part of a "community," feeling "balanced," and feeling "motivated" by forward momentum, each author shares her particular experiences with writing and how the PWG has contributed to her well-being. Based on the authors' narratives, the article also suggests how PWGs may be useful in promoting well-being across several levels of education.
