Choosing a dissertation topic is an important decision one makes in a doctoral program. The chosen topic is one that will require a significant amount of time, energy, and dedication, so we recommend choosing wisely. The 2014 doctoral cohort at Idaho State University would like to share how we each decided on our dissertation topics. We were able to catch this process through the use of Photovoice and have developed an emerging theory on how a doctoral student decides on a dissertation topic.
