    • Based on almost 2 years of interviews with current and former PhD students and supervisors along with lots and lots of conversations on supervision, I offer you a series of episodes on supervision.

    In this first episode, I explore a series of critical “don’ts” that both PhD students and their supervisors should be aware of to ensure a healthier, more productive PhD journey. In the following episode, I will be offering up lots of solutions or rather the dos of supervision. Then there will be an episode on all the cases where it’s not clear what the best solution is, or the solution is rather different depending on context: I am calling them the in-betweens. In a fourth episode I will be talking to a sort of PhD coach, who has lots of experience with supervising and thinking about supervision. A final short episode will offer us a list of 10 key things that supervisors and PhD students need – the 10 commandments of supervision, if you will.

    The Don’ts of Supervision

    1. Failing to Recognise Personal Struggles
    2. Poor Communication & Lack of Support
    3. Exposing PhD students to Toxic or Overbearing Environments
    4. Unrealistic Expectations & Rigid Mindsets
    5. Supervising Too Many PhD Students
    6. Lack of Flexibility in Supervision
    7. Lack of Time Management and Structure
