Listen "207. Best practices for dissertation supervisors with Dr. Jen Harrison"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Jen Harrison explains how current higher ed systems often undermine the wellbeing of both graduate students and dissertation supervisors, leaving both feeling unsupported. Jen offers suggestions to faculty supervisors about how to better support themselves and their students: -Set expectations for the what, when, how, and why of communication with your students.-Offer students clear how-to guidelines and templates so they are able to see examples of good research and are clear about expectations. -Make space for students to bring their own unique work style to their research and writing.-Be willing to work with students' unique life circumstances. -Notice and feel when you are rushing your advising conversations, try sinking into a listening stance, and engage in genuine dialogue. --Email Dr. Jen Harrison at [email protected].
