Many thanks to Kay Guccione's abandoned account and PhD Supervision for inviting me to write this blog post on the role of #PhD research groups for breaking and rebuilding stronger ideas. Based on my recent article in Higher Education Research and Development (tinyurl.com/nhdwdsft). @LCTCentre #LCTheory

‘Fail early and fail fast’: the value of research groups for breaking and rebuilding ideas, @KDWilmot in the @SupervisingPhDs blog, supervisingphds.wordpress.com/2022/04/12/fai… #highered #PhDchat #GroupSupervision #PhDsupervision #doctoralsupervision #SupervisingPhDs CHERTL

Was supervision a deciding factor? Or the kind of research you ended up doing? Or the research environment? Were you enrolled for at least 1 year? Consider sharing your experience as part of my research. @PhDgirlSA Kirstin Wilmot @SAAPhDs1@SupervisingPhDs CPGSru #doctorate #phdlife

My PhD student is looking at a very neglected but hugely relevant & important aspect of doc research - why students start a PhD and don't complete. His interest is particularly on supervision complications. Please share if you know of someone who might want to participate!

If you are interested in participating in this important research or know of someone who might be, please get in touch: tinyurl.com/465pwm67

My new paper on doctoral writing is out! Really chuffed with this one, and super pleased to have it appear in Teaching in Higher Education (TiHE). It offers a practical tool for constructing research findings in doctoral dissertations Doctoralwriting @LCTCentre CHERTL

A fantastic opportunity working in Postgraduate Studies at Rhodes University

New Commentary out in SAJournalofScience about the role of language in knowledge-building & science communication. Enjoyed collaborating with new colleagues on this one! The paper draws on #LCTheory to theorize the argument. @LCTCentre CHERTL RhodesResearch

We at CHERTL and the CPGSru are excited to be hosting the Higher Education Close-Up (HECU) 11 conference from 3-5 July 2024 at Rhodes University in Makhanda, South Africa. The conference theme is 'The role of trust in Higher Education'. Abstracts submissions here: sites.google.com/ru.ac.za/hecu1…

Excited for this edited collection to come out (two months to go!). @PhDgirlSA and I have a chapter on the rewards and challenges of co-supervision and how we have been navigating this often tricky pedagogic space. CHERTL
