    9: Postgraduate Research Supervision: The Status Quo
    2025/04/04
    The podcast episode features Dr Karen Clegg and Dr Gill Houston discussing their book, co-authored with Dr Owen Gower, Doctoral Supervision and Research Culture: What We Know, What Works, And Why, which was published by Routledge, Taylor & Francis in 2024. They explore the challenges and importance of doctoral supervision, highlighting the lack of research on supervisors' experiences. The conversation covers topics such as supervisor recognition, professional development, feedback incorporation, and the impact of institutional support on research culture.

    1. How can institutions better recognize and value the contributions of their doctoral supervisors?

    2. How do supervisors effectively incorporate feedback from their supervisees to improve their supervisory approach?

    3. What does Continuous Professional Development (CPD) look like for doctoral supervisors, and how can it be implemented effectively?

    4. What are the challenges and opportunities in supporting supervisors during and after the COVID-19 pandemic?

    5. What recommendations can be made to improve the research culture and support system for doctoral supervisors and their research students?

    The episode provides insights into the complex ecosystem of doctoral supervision, emphasizing the need for institutional support, peer learning, and recognition of supervisors' critical role in research development.

  • 8: Supporting PGR Wellbeing: Policy and Practice

    8: Supporting PGR Wellbeing: Policy and Practice
    2025/03/11
    In this episode, Dr John Turnpenny discusses his latest research on postgraduate researcher (PGR) wellbeing, focusing on policy implementation and practice. He highlights the Courage Project at the University of East Anglia, funded by the UK's Catalyst Fund, which aimed to support PGR wellbeing through various interventions. John introduces the policy capacity framework, which examines political, operational, and governance capacities at individual, organizational, and systemic levels. He notes many of the challenges to policy implementation, such as organizational marginalization, low political capacity, and fragmented governance. John also indicates how future research could explore analytical capacity and co-creation processes to improve PGR wellbeing interventions.

    What motivated research into PGR wellbeing?
    • Identified significant challenges faced by postgraduate researchers
    • Recognized a lack of focused support compared to undergraduate students
    • Aimed to explore political and organizational dimensions of wellbeing interventions
    What are the main challenges for PGR wellbeing?
    • Ambiguous status (neither staff nor student)
    • Organizational marginalization
    • Low political and operational capacity within institutions
    • Fragmented governance and limited resource
    What framework was used to analyze PGR wellbeing?
    • Policy capacity framework examining:
      • Political capacity
      • Operational capacity
      • Governance across individual, organizational, and systemic levels
    What are the future research directions?
    • Updating policy capacity framework
    • Comparing international PGR support models
    • Exploring analytical capacity in intervention design
    • Investigating co-creation processes

  • 7: Mapping Britain’s Coast: Greenvile Collins’s Legacy

    7: Mapping Britain’s Coast: Greenvile Collins’s Legacy
    2025/03/04
    In this episode, Peter Wells, a PhD candidate with a background in music, discusses his research on Greenvile Collins, a 17th-century naval officer and mapmaker. Collins's 1693 atlas, Great Britain's Coasting Pilot, was a significant contribution to naval hydrography, despite challenges like limited funding and outdated maps. His work highlighted the dynamic nature of coastal environments. Wells emphasized Collins's intellectual curiosity and connections with figures like Samuel Pepys. He aims to write an academic literary biography, blending historical accuracy with engaging storytelling, to honor Collins's legacy and its impact on British cartography.

    1. What was Peter's academic background and how did his initial interest in maps lead him to his current research project?
    2. What was the significance of Greenvile Collins's atlas Great Britain's Coasting Pilot?
    3. What were some of the key challenges that Collins faced in surveying the entire British coastline?
    4. What insights have Peter uncovered from studying Collins's journals and observations?
    5. How was Collins connected to influential networks and the intellectual environment of the time?
    6. What was the impact of Collins's work on the development of modern hydrography?
    7. How did the concept of "Great Britain" and national identity evolve during the period Collins was working?
    8. Why did Peter decide to approach this research project as an academic literary biography?
    9. What resources does Peter recommend for further learning about maritime history?
