Two Daves and a Doc

In Episode 5, we welcome our first guest onto the show, Dr. Emma M. Smith, who gained her PhD in Rehabilitation Services from the University of British Columbia. Dr.Smith is a clinician, educator, and researcher in the field of assistive technology, who is passionate about global access to enabling technologies which enhance independence and participation for all, regardless of ability.

We chat with Dr. Smith about her process for completing her Phd, how to increase the human impact of your doctoral work and how to balance doctoral work, volunteering and other research projects.

In Episode 4, we cover some of the basic tools that can help you on your Phd journey, from beginning to end, namely your Annotated Bibliography and the Circles of Knowledge concept. We talk about what they are, what they should be and how to build your own. They are evolutionary so we discuss how the should changes as you progress on your doctoral journey.

In Episode 3, we cover Orientation which, let's face it, can be a DRY subject. We compare experiences, both from local and international perspectives as well as give some pointers on how to get the most out of your campus and digital assets. As always, the appropriate amount of sugar and vinegar is applied to our telling; after all, this is real life!

Join David Pollard, Dave Graham and (Dr.) Colin Keogh as they navigate the tricky waters of academia to bring you all the fun and hijinks of starting your PhD. Anecdotal stories, life lessons and a whole lot of humour will be your guides along the way.

In Episode 2, we cover Supervisors and Advisors and why they sometimes make or break your experience with your PhD. Tune in for the appropriate level of wit and wisdom as the two Daves and one Doc discuss these two subjects.
