The first workshop in this series takes place in the Royal Irish Academy and is jointly hosted by the Irish Humanities Alliance and the Royal Irish Academy.

Supervisors, early stage career researchers and students will benefit from the discussion and policy suggestions offered.

 

This workshop is part of a series of lunchtime workshops focusing on Doctoral Supervision in the Humanities subject areas.
