There is more to a doctorate than writing a thesis, but often other aspects can become neglected when the thesis looms largest. This session will seek to collectively map what else students need from their doctoral experience. The doctoral journey is about the holistic development of the researcher, and about ensuring that their research can make some sort of demonstrable impact in their field and the wider world. Supervisors can support students to ensure their research has impact in various ways, and that it reaches multiple audiences, that they become well-networked and skilled at public engagement. Through open dialogue and small group discussion supervisors are invited to share insights and ideas about how students might disseminate, publish, and promote themselves and their research.
