Abstract

This paper explores the role of Deans and Directors of UK Graduate Schools in implementing change. Specifically, we seek to develop anunderstanding of how leadership in graduate schools has sought to implement recent policy and institutional discourse on well-being and inclusion in the context of neo-liberal policy drivers which prioritise an efficient system of doctoral production. More generally, it will contribute to an understanding of the ‘missing meso-level’(Trowler, Fanghanel and Wareham, 2005: 435) of leadership in higher education and specifically the contemporary barriers to effective implementation of people-centred policy and practice in higher education institutions,
