A Deep Approach to Doctoral Supervision
Organizer: Division for Quality Enhancement, Academic Teaching and Learning
Dates Spring 2020 see calendar.
Name in Swedish is Doktorandhandledning på djupet.
Seminar on academic productivity and stress management for supervisors.
The seminar language will be English.
When: Wednesday 20 May, 10.00-12.00.
Where: Zoom
The background of this seminar is that we often focus on what/the content of our work, but sometimes we forget to pay attention to our own work process, or how we work, think and act. However, the process is central in order to complete our work on time and feel well during the process. As individuals, we often have one main strategy, or a certain way of thinking and acting, for dealing with a variety of situations. For many academics, the main strategy is to work harder. Our main strategy often works perfectly well, but as we encounter new situations we may need a greater variety of strategies. More specifically, during this seminar, you will learn about new strategies or academic productivity tools and apply them to your own work situation as well as supervision of graduate students.
Aim: The aims of the seminar are 1) to provide new work strategies helpful in supervision of graduate students 2) to shift the focus from what you are working on (the content) to how you are working (the process) of your academic work and supervision, and 3) learn about productivity tools that many PhD students are using in order to further support them in their dissertation work.
Instructor: Åsa Burman has a PhD in philosophy and works as director of studies of practical philosophy at Stockholm University. She specializes in social ontology in her research, and is also passionate about educational development. She has previously been at the University of California, Berkeley, where she got the opportunity to participate in trainings in practical dissertation writing.
She is the founder and CEO of Finish On Time as well as author of the book: Bli klar i tid och må bra på vägen: Handbok för doktorander (Natur & Kultur, 2017). The book is now available in English: The Doctoral Student Handbook: Master Effectiveness. Reduce Stress. Finish on Time.
