Title

Research Supervisor Seminar Series :

Top Tips for supervising students in Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (HASS)


Target Audience

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



Process

Panel presentations and discussion.


Course Description

As the academic year starts and we build new relationships with students, it timely to hear some top tips from experienced colleagues. They will share general advice and personal insights from supervising doctoral students. This session is aimed at newer doctoral supervisors, but more experienced colleagues who wish to refresh or reflect upon their own practice are equally welcome. It is also aimed at colleagues from any school whose field is encompassed by Humanities, Arts and Social Science (HASS) where relationships with doctoral students are generally characterised by individual student projects and regular but infrequent formal meetings. (As compared with group projects and frequent but often brief or informal contact in lab-based disciplines. There is a separate Top tips seminar session for STEM). 

 
Speakers

Prof Graham Thompson, Professor of American Literature and Assoc Dean of Researcher Academy
Prof Oliver Morissey, Professor of Development Economics and Assoc Dean of Researcher Academy
