Posgrado Relaciones sociales Apoyo personal Escritura. The problem of low graduation rates at the graduate level has been linked to the challenges of dissertation work. Given that this is a process of “disciplinary enculturation”, where graduate students acquire the ways of being and doing of each discipline, the social relations of doctoral candidates should be analyzed. Several studies have explored the support provided by social ties within academia but have, nevertheless, ignored other spheres. This qualitative study, based on in-depth interviews, explores the personal-sphere social relations in the dissertation writing process from the point of view of doctoral candidates and recent graduates in the fields of Education and Linguistics. Results indicate that the emotional, financial, economic, and academic support offered by these social ties is a necessary, although not in itself, sufficient condition. Some strategies for increasing institutional support to facilitate the process of writing a dissertation are offered. El problema de la baja tasa de graduación en los posgrados se ha relacionado con las dificultades del trabajo de tesis, dado que éste es un proceso de “enculturación disciplinar” donde se adquieren los modos de ser y hacer de cada disciplina, se deben analizar los vínculos de tesistas con otras personas. Varias investigaciones han indagado los apoyos ofrecidos por las relaciones del ámbito académico, sin embargo, han obviado otras esferas. Este trabajo cualitativo, basado en entrevistas en profundidad, explora la ayuda proveniente de las relaciones sociales del ámbito personal en el proceso de tesis desde el punto de vista de tesistas y recientes doctores en Lingüística y Educación. Los resultados indican que las ayudas emocionales, financieras, económicas y académicas brindadas por estos vínculos son necesarias pero no suficientes. Se proponen diferentes estrategias de acompañamiento institucional para facilitar el proceso de tesis.
