Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a Joint PhD Program in Educational Studies taught jointly by three universities in Ontario Canada, discuss the role of the comprehensive portfolio in research education, and share our vision for sustainable doctoral education and a sustainable future locally, nationally, and internationally. We debate the importance of the comprehensive portfolio for student retention, the development of the 21st century learning skills, mentoring, self-as-scholar competences, and holistic doctoral education. We explore foundational questions: What works? What does not work? What is missing? Finally, we conclude with critical reflections and recommendations for doctoral-level studies with reference to key stakeholders including graduate students, mentors, curriculum developers, doctoral program directors, and policy makers.
