Doctoral researchers are invited to join a conversational group, starting?Thursday 2 November.

Following a successful launch last year, the PGR Conversation Group (a direct outcome of the PGR Wellbeing Project),?is running again?and it’s hoped that similar groups will be developed at our other campuses in the future.

This initiative, run by?Enabling Services?and supported by?the Doctoral College, will bring doctoral researchers together as a group each week for 6 weeks, to discuss?issues which are important to them.

Taking place at Highfield Campus, the group will meet every?Thursday?from?2 November?to?7 December.

For more information or to register for this conversational group, please email: enable@soton.ac.uk

Those who secure a place will be emailed with details of the venue.

Aline Giordano, Doctoral College Manager, explained:

“We know that studying for a PhD can be tough and sometimes you might need to step away from it and reconnect with others in a more humane way. The conversation group is an intimate group that aims to enable doctoral researchers to make meaningful connections with each other in a safe environment.”
