Our story begins in a part- time Doctor in Education (EdD) programme offered at the UCL Institute of Education. It is the beginning of the aca-demic year and a cohort of about 20 students has assembled in a class-room. The students, however, are not from London nor do they live anywhere in the United Kingdom. Instead, they have travelled to the opening session of a doctorate programme designed specifically for students living outside the United Kingdom. Combining mandatory week- long, in- person modules with distance work, the programme allows students to continue living in their home countries while they work on obtaining a doctorate in the United Kingdom. The students hail from countries as diverse as Cyprus, Ethiopia, Hungary, Pakistan, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Myanmar, Norway, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and New Zealand. They are also visibly older, many of them in their 40s or 50s, and as they go around the room introducing themselves it becomes evident that these are already well- established education professionals with many years of experience in their fields. Among the group are teachers (general, special education and English as an add-itional language), principals, research managers, education technology specialists, an academic writing coach, a nursery school owner and even a training director in an oil company.This is the scenario that marked the beginning of our doctoral journey. For the next year and a half, as part- time doctoral students, we would meet each term in London to receive training in mandatory week- long modules. The lectures covered a wide range of research- related topics and were intensive, often running from nine in the morning until six in the evening. The intensive nature of the week- long modules meant that we spent a significant amount of time together. Not knowing anyone besides each other while in London, it was not uncommon for some of us to spend time together outside the classroom exploring the city. In time, we became familiar not only with each other’s professional and academic interests, but also the personal circumstances that inspired each of us to enrol in the programme.
