Event overview
This workshop offers an opportunity to get together and reflect on the practice of PhD supervision.
PhD supervision is one of academic life’s year round staples but what is supervision and when do you know it is being done well?
Professor Les Back, recently appointed Dean of the Graduate School, and Lesley Hewings, Head of Graduate School Office, have collaborated on the development and delivery of this new programme for PhD Supervisors. They have created the workshop in response to the need expressed by staff to have training that is tailored to the specificities of Goldsmiths and that can prepare supervisors for the demands of the new academic environment.
The workshop offers an opportunity to develop a space for reflection to think about the craft of supervision. It will discuss the pressures on supervision within the current academic situation (i.e. increased numbers of students and pressure to get students to complete on time) and explore how the existing structures within postgraduate governance at Goldsmiths can be used to support rather than hinder supervisors.
