Enhancing Doctoral Supervision: A collaborative endeavor?

Date: February 10, 2011 - 8:30am to 1:30pm

Location: CTL

The Centre for Teaching and Learning hosted a symposium on doctoral supervision with Dr. Lynn McAlpine from University of Oxford and McGill University, and Dr. Cheryl Amundsen from Simon Fraser University.

This working session was designed for anyone interested or involved in doctoral education including faculty, doctoral students, and administrators. In this working session, Dr. McAlpine and Dr. Amundsen drew on their research into the experiences of doctoral students and faculty in order to provide a richer understanding of the interplay of personal understandings, feelings, intentions, and interactions that collectively create the experiences of being and becoming an academic.
