PhD Supervisors' Discussion Café Series - 12noon-1pm, 12th January 2027 (Tues)
Online
Tuesday 12th January 2027
What is the PhD Supervisors' Discussion Café?
The purpose of the PhD Supervisors' Discussion Café is to create an informal peer to peer environment for supervisors - both academic and non-academic - to be able to (a) share best practice in PhD supervision, (b) crowd-source ideas and solutions to challenges, and (c) network. Our sessions will be held online, on a bi-monthly basis, and are open to all PhD supervisors from across SHAPE and STEM disciplines.
PhD Supervisors' Discussion Café - January 2027: crowd-source a solution to a current supervisory challenge
There will be a short intro, followed by a group (or breakout group, depending on numbers) discussion about any and all current supervisory challenges people want to bring to the group in order to crowd-source solutions, best practice, advice and support. Chatham House rules will apply so that everyone can feel confident sharing the things that are weighing on them. If you've got something you want to make sure we get to, do put it on the Padlet, labelled 'For discussion at January 2027 session' and we'll make an agenda to start with these items.
Of course, everyone can nominate topics for future sessions via the Padlet too: https://padlet.com/pgrsupervisorcafe/pgr-supervisor-cafe-z3sqobzwnncx53j0
This is an informal, cross-institutional space for learning and sharing at all levels of experience, as well as somewhere to start conversations about the sector and what more could be done to benefit students, supervisors (academic and non-academic), universities and society as a whole.
We're all ears for ideas, advice, input and questions - we want this to work as well as possible for as many people as possible, so if you have an hour to join us, we'd really welcome your time and support in starting this exciting new endeavour. You can join the mailing list for information here: https://forms.office.com/e/5xiZjjZN9N. You can also email Dr Alexia Casale via [email protected].
Our website is here: https://www.bathspa.ac.uk/schools/school-of-writing-publishing-and-the-humanities/phd-supervisors-discussion-cafe/
Do share the details with as many PhD supervisor colleagues as possible at your institution and beyond! Those supervising but not based at a university are equally welcome as those with a university post.
The event is free but you must register for a ticket to help us manage capacity. A joining link and any updated information will be emailed to ticket-holders at least 24 hours before the event and periodically I will add ticket-holders to the calendar invite.
