Mapping Your Thesis
The comprehensive manual of theory and
techniques for masters’ and doctoral research
Barry White
ACER Press 2011
This book is the complete guide to writing a masters’ and doctoral thesis
and addresses the nature of interdisciplinary and mixed methods research
and the relationship between the two. This combination of research
methods is the key precursor to the interrogation and comparison of
exegetic (exposition), empirical and qualitative approaches to writing.
The purpose of this resource is to raise awareness of, and provide grist
for reflection on, the critical choices research and thesis writing for both
masters and doctorates currently involves.

An Academic Life
A handbook for new academics
Robert H Cantwell and Jill J Scevak (eds)
ACER Press 2010
Academic life is complex and adjusting to life as a new academic requires
a range of skills and abilities to fulfil the multiple roles the academic must
play as researcher, teacher and administrator.
An Academic Life assists in the process of orienting new academics to
the nature of academic life, particularly greater accountability in all aspects
of academic life, growth in the numbers of academic staff and increasing
demands and expectations from the growing student population. This title
addresses the key areas of academic work: teaching and learning; research,
research training and publication; administration and community service;
and the social and cultural aspects of academic life.
