Engaging Conversations for PhD Supervision Workshop

The College of Medicine & Health Graduate Studies is hosting a workshop for Supervisors on Engaging Conversations for PhD Supervision with Professor Emeritus Prof Eileen Savage.

This workshop will take place over two full days, on Friday 3rd and Friday 10th February 2023, in WGB_226. Complete the form here to register.

The aim of this interactive workshop is to enable PhD supervisors engage in productive conversations with research students. Drawing on neuroscience, the nature of productive and unproductive conversations are explored. Core skills of listening and questioning for support, challenge and depth during supervision are offered. The tGrow model is offered as a tool for growth in progressing students. Challenging conversations that can arise during supervision are critically examined with reference to dynamics of relationships, and strategies for addressing these challenges. This course will be experiential with opportunities to practice various skills and models, and will also structure triad practice of the tGrow model between Day 1 & 2.
