Supervision: Adapting research supervision: Practical approaches for uncertain times

The School of Graduate Studies facilitates workshops for research supervisors at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland.

This workshop provides advice and support for research supervisors who are now having to supervise more flexibly (online) in response to changing circumstances. It includes strategies for:

  • Maintaining the relationship—meetings/virtual meetings (frequency, length, structure, tools)
  • Helping students with Plan B—dealing with interruptions to their research
  • Contingency planning as levels change
  • Responding to students’ concerns (personal, funding, time, access to data)
  • Supporting students at different stages (new, mid-candidature and finishing)
  • Mental health issues
  • Looking after yourself

The webinar will be interactive with participants given the opportunity to share their knowledge and experience.
