UCL Arena Centre are delivering this session, which is open to all staff who supervise PhD candidates. 

Dr Kay Guccione (@kayguccione), is a Senior Lecturer at Glasgow Caledonian University, will share data from her research project, funded by AdvanceHE, which looked at trust-building and breaking in doctoral supervision relationships.

The findings of this project reveal that trust on both sides is built over time, through each student-supervisor encounter, and in response to observable ’trusting’ or ’trustworthy' behaviours. The giving and receiving of feedback was a key site of trust-building (or breaking), and this workshop will support you to critically consider the relationship between trust and feedback within your own supervisory context. 

Who should attend

You should attend if you are a new or existing research supervisor.
