Abstract

Practitioner scholarship encompasses the dispositions and skills necessary for educators to effect change for marginalised students in their local contexts. Ed.D. programmes play a role in helping educators develop these traits. Understanding what practitioner scholarship can look like post-graduation could inform programme planning as well as inspire broader audiences to support these efforts. In this interview study of 11 graduates from one online Ed.D. programme at a research-intensive university, we describe post-graduation enactment of practitioner scholarship. Graduates’ proactive stances reflected a social justice-oriented disposition and mastery of skills related to uses of scholarly literature and data.
