For the next two episodes, we're going to talk about our own doctoral research, and what it's like studying for a doctorate while working in education.

Emma's drawn the short straw and agreed to go first, and her research is set to weave together a number of really important themes including curriculum reform, reform of initial teacher education and her beloved subject of drama.

It's also a chance to hear about the EdD - a doctorate that may not be as widely known as the PhD, but potentially provides a great format for doctoral study for teachers.

We'll be back in a fortnight, when Tom takes the hot seat!
