PhD Supervisor Talk
Doctoral student learning and supervision in project-based doctoral education
Speaker: Anders Sonesson, Senior lecturer in Educational Sciences at Lund University and head of the division for Higher Education Development (AHU).
Content: Project-based doctoral education, i.e. when a doctoral student’s education is embedded within a supervisor’s research project, is the norm in medicine, engineering, technology and the sciences, but it is becoming increasingly common also in other subject areas. Typically, projects are designed by the supervisors before students are admitted, and the projects, as well as students’ and other project members’ salaries, are wholly or partially funded by research grants won in competition. The success of the projects is of great importance for most involved and in particular for the supervisors, whose academic careers and prospects for future funding depend on high-quality research output.
Although doctoral students work alongside experts of their fields, their learning and development towards becoming independent researchers is at risk of being overlooked or even down-prioritised in this form of doctoral education.
In this lecture Anders Sonesson will present results from a study on doctoral student learning and supervision in medicine and health sciences, and then invite participants to discuss how to negotiate student learning with project priorities as well as supervision with project leadership.
Anders Sonesson has a background as a biologist but is presently senior lecturer in Educational Sciences at Lund University where he heads the division for Higher Education Development (AHU). His main focus is doctoral education and through more than a decade of workshops and courses he has met with over 1500 supervisors from a wide range of subject fields. His publications particularly focus on the intersection between policy and practice, and how ongoing changes in governance of both education and research interact at the level of doctoral education and create tensions.
Time and date: Thursday 18 March, 2021, 15.00-17.00.
