This face to face course is run by the Researcher Academy and forms part of the Research Supervisor Seminar Series

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. 

Target Audience: University staff involved in research supervision (either formally or informally)

Course Description:

This workshop session discusses the rewards and the challenges of navigating supervisory relationships with supervisees who come from very different backgrounds, or have very different identities, from our own. This session covers the basics of what we, as supervisors, need to know to be in compliance with the Equality Act, but also thinks more immediately about how we can support our students who may be facing prejudice, and how we might ensure that our students are aware of, and do not replicate, structural inequality. This session is aimed at all PhD supervisors.

Speakers: Onni Gust

Process: Webinar - Panel presentations and discussion
