Doctoral researchers are invited to join a conversational group, starting?Thursday 31 January.

This initiative, run by?Enabling Services?and supported by?the Doctoral College, will bring doctoral researchers together as a group for six 1.5 hour sessions, to discuss?issues which are important to them.

Taking place on Highfield Campus, the group will meet every?Thursday?from 31 January until 14 March, with a break on 21 February.

Aline Giordano, Doctoral College Manager, said:

“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.”

The PGR Conversation Group is running again following a successful launch last year, which was as a direct outcome of the?PGR Wellbeing Project. The organisers are aiming to run conversational groups like this on other campuses in the future.
