Unfortunately I can’t come to this meeting, but as someone who has supervised a lot of MSc and PhD students in the social sciences, I would like to say that I definitely provide career advice and mental health support and my university definitely expects this of me in my role as a supervisor. I have to have mental health training from the university to be able to prepare for the mental health aspect, and I am constantly getting information and prompt from the university about both these areas.

This group will be held at Birkbeck on 21st October 2pm. A further two groups are planned, to be held in Sussex and Sheffield. Please see attached for further details. > > I am conducting a qualitative study looking at the extent to which supervisors feel able and willing to support their supervisees with matters not directly related to research, such as mental health and wellbeing and career advice. This research is being funded by CHASE and is in collaboration with Vitae. I am interested in the role but also the limits of the supervisory relationship. I want to include a range of perspectives, including viewpoints on the emotional work of supervision and the purpose of the doctorate in a changing labour market. Participants will be anonymised in the final report. The hope is that, in addition to any report findings, participation will enable a group of supervisors to come together to reflect on their supervisory practice in a wider (cross)institutional context. > > > The group is free to attend, but places are limited.
