The workshops are an initiative of the Humanities Institute (UCD), and are a collaboration between it and the Moore Institute (NUIG), the Institute for Collaborative Research in the Humanities (QUB), DIT and the Royal Irish Academy. The workshops are co-ordinated by the Irish Humanities Alliance.
This series of lunchtime workshops will focus on Doctoral Supervision in the Humanities subject areas. The workshops will cover topics including: career mentorship, managing the student-supervisor relationship, planning for life after the doctorate and how this can all be assisted by new technology. It is intended for both supervisors and students alike, but with differing emphasis across the various workshops.
