Leading in Academia. A Primer on Being an Effective PhD Supervisor

As academics we take on a variety of roles (e.g., researcher, teacher, committee member). One of these roles is supervising PhD students – a role that demands us to guide and lead junior researchers.

In this digital session, we tap into the opportunities and challenges of supervising PhD students. We will explore strategies and tools which will help develop an effective working relationship. This, in turn, will facilitate the academic and personal development of your PhD student – and yourself.
