Webinar: Supporting doctoral researchers from diverse backgrounds
Duration 0.5 days
Team Researcher Academy



This 
online course is run by the Researcher Academy 

The Researcher Academy courses are very popular and the majority are run in both semesters to give you the opportunity to attend at a time of the year that suits you. Semester 1 courses will be available for booking from the second week of October and Semester 2 courses from the second week of February. 

The purpose of this online workshop is to contribute towards the development of a guide for research supervisors.  This guide will help research supervisors improve support for and better understand our diverse postgraduate research community.

This session is open to all PGR’s.  We would be particularly keen to hear from any postgraduate researchers who identify as having protected characteristics as defined by the UK’s Equality Act 2010.  

  • Age
  • Disability
  • Gender Reassignment
  • Marriage and Civil Partnership
  • Pregnancy and Maternity
  • Race
  • Religion or Belief
  • Sex
  • Sexual Orientation
We would also like to include a wider range of characteristics such as neurodiversity and socio-economic background.

You will need to have access to an internet connection to take part in this webinar. 

This session will be delivered using MS Teams. Please let us know if you require any reasonable adjustments to access the session.
