Duration 0.5 days
Team Researcher Academy

Tuesday 3rd June, 13:00-14:00 (online) 

Presenters: Sandra Rose and Alice Haslam, Welfare and EDI Officers, Research and Innovation 


This session explores how to support supervisors to supervise PGR students who identify as coming from a diverse background, helping them to thrive during their PhD. The session uses case study examples to facilitate group discussions and outlines University support pathways. The session is supported by a companion guide ‘Supervising PGRs from diverse backgrounds’.  

This session is part of the Supervisor Seminar Series, providing supervisors with the opportunity to discuss experiences and processes and reflect on supervisory practice. 

Who is it for? All colleagues engaged in formal and informal doctoral supervision. In addition to members of formal supervisory teams, assistant, co- and informal supervisors including postdoctoral and research staff, research technical professionals and professional services.  

 

This session is part of the RSVP project, which aims to transform the culture and practice of research supervision across the UK. RSVP is a £4.6M Research England project, involving over 50 research organisations from the UK and beyond. The project has the backing of most major UK research funders and was extensively referenced in UKRI's recent New deal for postgraduate research. By participating in this session and providing feedback, your views can influence our national programme of supervisor development.
