Over a number of years, Mark d’Inverno and I co-supervised PhD researchers at University of Westminster and Goldsmiths College, London. We are both committed to co-supervision of PhDs and to supporting researchers who work across disciplines and across theory and practice.
The numerous discussions we had together, and continue to engage in, have contributed to the syllabus of this course. They include debate about what constitutes effective supervision, the need for compassionate and rigorous supervision, and the importance of the post-PhD careers of the researchers we work with.
In November 2014, Mark gave a talk to my class and he has generously agreed that I can take these and incorporate them into this course.
