Collaboration for Arts, Humanities and Social Science PhDs is more than the icing on the research cake: it now lies at the heart of the research paradigm for the 21st Century. The AHRC, for example, is increasingly funding collaborative and interdisciplinary research. More and more, projects will not solely operate under the traditional model of a single researcher, but draw upon a range of partners from disciplines, institutions and sectors required to answer bigger and more far-reaching questions. To build a successful research career within or outside the academy, you will need to connect with – and impress! – a broad network of professional colleagues. Employers value, perhaps above all, communication and interpersonal skills. This is your opportunity to develop these skills. What will the course cover? This 2-day course will explore the building blocks of the collaborative style of research: Inclusive communication, Cultural awareness, Robust planning, Negotiation and the ability to work effectively with others. Whether your collaboration is with another academic in your department, or partners from different subjects, sectors and countries, it will help you to develop winning strategies for connecting and working with others. The course will be attended by up to 40 PhDs and will be led by a team of experienced facilitators who will work with you throughout the 2 days to support your learning. This event takes a ‘learning by doing' approach. There will be presentations on collaboration theory, but for the most part, you will be actively participating in the sessions and activities. |

“This workshop made me see that there are lots of opportunities, and being an expert in your small subject area is just a very minor part of the whole PhD process. The PhD is not the end, all the other things matter too……………… I thought this was an amazing course.” FUMO participant |
