- Experiences of Foreign Doctoral Students in Librarianship: Navigating Professional Identities and Self-Presentation Joseph Marmol Yap Ragnar Andreas Audunson Doctoral Students Foreign Students Professional Identity Peer Relationship Interpersonal Relationship Foreign Countries Library Science Library Education Information Science Education Self Concept Student Experience Student Attitudes This study examines the professional and student identity of foreign PhD LIS students in Central Europe. The article explores how doctoral students navigate professional identities through social interactions with and self-presentation to peers. The research design of this study is descriptive. Responses are organized by themes and followed by a discussion of the content of the interviews. The selection of participants is purposive, and current non-graduating foreign doctoral LIS scholars physically present in Hungary are included. A total of five participants agreed to be part of the study. Four themes emerged for professional interactions before becoming an LIS doctoral student, three themes for the relationship with their professional colleagues or peers while at the doctoral program, and two themes for professional interactions of a full-time LIS PhD student among peers in the doctoral school.
