Tara Brabazon podcast

Students often surprise their supervisors. Narelle talks about how she has managed to complete so much of her thesis so quickly. Amazing.

This podcast is the sonic component of a flipped training session for PhD supervisors at Flinders University. We focus on one key question: why do students decide to change their supervisor? We present the reason on the reasons for this change, and how these situations can be managed.

Narelle, Jamie and Tara provide the post-confirmation of candidature update. We talk about 'what now' and 'what's next' to ensure a rapid completion of Narelle's thesis.

Explore the impact of student perfectionism on PhD programs, including the genetic and societal roots. Discover practical strategies to help students manage perfectionism, cultivate resilience, and embrace failure. Learn about setting achievable goals, fostering adaptability, and reframing mindset towards growth and improvement.

The characteristic of a successful PhD candidature is a strong relationship between academic staff and the PhD student. But what is a 'strong relationship'? This vlog explores the nature of a 'professional relationship' and its value in framing the student and academic experience of supervision.

Endings are important. So is quality assurance and standards. How does a supervisor know when a PhD is 'over' and the thesis will successfully pass through examination.

What is disciplinary literacy? How can this innovative term be used within doctoral supervision to enhance reading and research, and writing and dissemination?

This professional development session for PhD supervisors enters the vexed terrain of 'rescue supervision.' What is rescue supervision? What strategies are available for success?

Tara, Jamie and Narelle prepare Narelle for her CoC event. We ask questions in real time. Narelle handles the answers - as we expect - with flair and precision.
