Event Overview:
Research on sensitive topics can take a toll on researchers, and the growing emphasis on impact and engagement with people with lived experience means many now work in environments they would not historically have encountered. While recommendations exist for supporting researchers doing emotionally demanding research, provision for PGR students remains limited. This session is a chance for supervisors to reflect together on the challenges of supervising PGRs who work with emotionally demanding material. The presenters will share insights from years of undertaking and supervising such research, discuss case examples, and offer tips and strategies drawn from facilitating reflective practice groups for PGR supervisors.
