An associate professor in the Higher Education & Student Affairs Program at The Ohio State University since 1992 (now Emeritus), Ada Demb has supervised twenty-one doctoral students to completion and has taught courses about strategy and leadership, academic affairs, internationalization, and technology. She earned her Ed.D. at Harvard University. For more than thirty years, she has focused on the policies, procedures, and structures that affect human behavior in organizations. This is her fourth book.
Daring the Doctorate is the first major work to address the life circumstances of mid-career doctoral students. Based on the experiences of fifteen successful graduates, the author develops perspectives and frameworks to assist those contemplating doctoral study, as well as faculty and staff advisors and even recent graduates who wonder whether only they found the road to graduation so complicated.
