This session will provide those living internationally with opportunities to share and nuance any difficulties with English in either reading, writing and speaking, and explore potential ways forward for navigating these in your work plan.

It will be led by early career researcher Dr Claire French (performance studies/ sociolinguistics) from her base in Australia.

Are you struggling to concentrate and lacking in motivation? Is your writing constantly interrupted by your inbox, social media and trips to the kitchen? Write Here, Write Now (our session based loosely on the Pomodoro Technique) is back with a modified format, online, to help you focus on your writing.

Join us on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9:30am to kick-start your working from home!

Is you lab closed? The archives closed? Your research participants no longer available? When you worked on your research contingency plans you probably hadn’t planned for a pandemic (why would you?) This small group coaching session will focus on what you CAN be doing, what you can be learning, developing , practicing, or even accepting when, in reality, nothing can be done. Deliberately small group sizes.

Your supervisor can be the most valuable resource you have during your PhD. A mentor and advisor, help to manage your project and keep on track, and a sounding board for your new ideas and thoughts. The list could go on… But key to the success is knowing and understanding how to manage this relationship successfully and in particularly during this period of lockdown and pandemic. Small group coaching session.

Keep in touch with your postgraduate community and with the Community Engagement Team!

Every Tuesday afternoon 3pm-4pm, we'll be online via Microsoft Teams to discuss any issue with you, or just to provide a friendly face to chat to.
