The third workshop of the series is jointly hosted by DIT’s GradCAM and the Irish Humanities Alliance. This workshop will focus on the assessment of Practice-Based PhDs. Speakers will discuss their supervision experiences, best practice and the latest developments in the area of 'Doctoral Supervision and Practice Based Research'.
This series of lunchtime workshops will focus on Doctoral Supervision in the Humanities subject areas. The workshops will cover topics including: career mentorship, managing the student-supervisor relationship, planning for life after the doctorate and how this can all be assisted by new technology.
