Research training for doctoral students
In my previous job I was a core trainer for the Faculty of Humanities Postgraduate Research Training Programme at the University of Southampton. I ran sessions on a variety of topics including:
- Turning a PhD chapter into an article
- Writing academic book reviews.
- Conference organisation
- Giving a research paper at a conference
- Research ethics
- Writing for funding and employability.
- Preparing for the PhD viva
Most of my PowerPoint Presentations and handouts can be freely downloaded from the Humbox as Open Educational Resources. I have made them available under a Creative Commons license meaning that people are free to use them and change them in any way they wish. As a word of caution I do use them in a face-to-face context so they may not necessarily work well as stand alone resources.
