Centre for Higher Education Studies (CHES)
This event is part of the Centre for Higher Education Studies-Centre for Doctoral Education (CHES-CDE) seminar series. It will be particularly useful for those interested in doctoral education.
Programme
- 12 to 12:45pm - Evolving doctoral identities through peer writer identity analysis
In this webinar, Jim McKinley will explore a multiple case study that investigates the experiences of two EdD and three PhD in Education students conducting peer analysis of English L2 (person’s second language) doctoral writers with a particular focus on how the process of providing peer feedback shapes their own identities as doctoral writers.
The peer analysis involves exploring the written language choices of English L2 doctoral candidates, specifically, how EdD and PhD students position themselves in relation to their arguments.
Each of the five researchers in this study worked with 1-3 participants within their same programmes: EdD and PhD in Education students who use English as an additional language.
- 12:45 to 1pm - Becoming Public Ethnographers: Chronicling an Attempt
What does it mean to become public ethnographers? In this talk, Alfonso Del Percio will offer an ethnographic account of a training program that he contributed to putting in place at UCL and that aims to guide a small cohort of eleven international UCL Institute of Education-based PhD students towards becoming public ethnographers.
This training program intends to respond to the increasing demand for public engagement training in doctoral education, especially the need for PhD students to learn how to communicate their research to those outside the university.
CHES-CDE Doctoral Seminar Series
Doctoral education has received increased attention in recent years with concerns expressed about access by minority ethnic groups, preparation for future careers and the appropriateness of institutional structures and support for supervisors. This series will explore these and further issues.
