Keynote address
Associate Professor Steven Howard
Co-Head of Postgraduate Studies
School of Education, University of Wollongong
Confessions of an HDR Supervisor
When I commenced my own Higher Degree Research journey, I anticipated a straightforward path to graduation and into my chosen profession. Reality had other plans for me. There were times of buoyant accomplishment, and others of seemingly insurmountable challenges. At various times I felt overburdened by all I was being asked to do, or I felt stagnant as I semi-patiently awaited advice, feedback or approvals. I focused highly on some things, at the exclusion of others. Fast forward 10 years later: I supervise 13 HDR students, I have supervised 13 others to completion and I am a Head of Postgraduate Research for UOW’s School of Education. I have learned much from these roles and students – perhaps more than they have benefitted from me. I see that some of those early decisions served me well, although these were just as often incidental as intentional. Others were less beneficial, and I have had to work hard to redress. In this presentation I will pull back the curtain on HDR Supervision to discuss the all-too-often-unspoken things that I believe many PhD students can benefit from understanding. I certainly would have.

A highlight of the day are the presentations by research students from across NSW, this year, online. This gives people from studying at any distance - across the city, or across the world - to participate, as presenters or as an audience. Presenters need to be currently enrolled in a NSW university. This could be you!
Details of the presentation: 20 min presentation with 5 slides (no more!) + 10 mins for discussion. |
