Making panel supervision work for you
Focus – Panel supervision of HDR candidates has significant advantages, but also introduces extra challenges for supervisors and HDRs alike. This short interactive workshop is designed to help you get the best value out of panel supervision, so that supervisors and candidates reap the benefits. We will identify different models of panel supervision, consider the roles that members might play, and explore strategies for working effectively in this mode.
Lead – Professor Peter Kanowski , Director HDR Supervision, who has been supervising HDR candidates for 35 years. The workshop will draw from resources developed by Dr Cally Guerin, now at La Trobe University. Cally is currently the joint executive editor of Higher Education Research & Development and a founding co-editor of the Doctoral Writing blog .
