Why don’t HDRs get on with their writing? - HDR Supervision Development Workshop

Focus – Many HDRs love reading about their topic, talking about their research, conducting experiments, doing field work, collecting and analysing data – but often seem to avoid writing about their research. They don’t always seem to realise that signing up for a PhD means becoming an author (no written document = no degree). This workshop explores why HDRs can struggle to produce useful text and offers practical strategies for supervisors to help their HDRs get on with the writing.

Lead – Dr Cally Guerin is a member of the Researcher Development and HDR Supervision Development teams at ANU. She has been teaching, researching and publishing on doctoral education since 2008, working with both HDR supervisors and students to develop effective research practices. She is currently the joint executive editor of Higher Education Research & Development and a founding co-editor of the Doctoral Writing blog.
