SUMMARY:Navigating your PhD as an International Student
DESCRIPTION:GE 2.06 and on Teams. \n\n\n\nStarting a PhD can be challenging for any new researcher\, but this event is an opportunity to reflect on what’s unique about the international and overseas experience. Chaired by Jea Na\, Senior Lecturer in the School of Art\, you will also hear from current PhD researchers who are a little further along in their research journey – Domenic Suntrapak and Sumi Sivapalan. They will share their experience of starting out and navigating the PhD from an international perspective\, and you will also be able to ask any questions you might have.  \n\n\n\nThere will also be tea\, coffee\, snacks\, and a chance to chat and get to know new and returning doctoral researchers. If you’re a returning student we encourage you to come along and meet some of the new starters.

SUMMARY:Writers’ Retreat with Chad McDonald
DESCRIPTION:in-person only in GE 2.06. \n\n\n\nWriters’ Retreats give PhD students in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities the opportunity to devote a whole day to writing in a quiet\, structured\, and supportive atmosphere. The retreats are facilitated by Dr Chad McDonald\, the faculty’s Senior Academic and Study Skills Tutor. You will need to arrive ‘ready to write’ but may\, of course\, bring any materials (laptops\, books\, data\, etc.) with you for the whole-day session. There will be some short discussion around good writing practice and how to approach your writing as a professional task\, but much of the day will be devoted to writing without distraction. Whatever your writing project (e.g.\, annual report\, paper\, thesis)\, the retreat will provide a space away from your office or home in which to concentrate and reflect on the process of writing. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

SUMMARY:Practice-based Conversation with Sara Davies: Mapping Methods and Methodologies
DESCRIPTION:Poetry Library (tbc) and on Teams. \n\n\n\nInformal staff-led conversation series\, organised by Nicola Lewis-Dixon and hosted by the Poetry Library\, with a focus on practice-based research. In this session\, Sara Davies\, Lecturer in Art Theory and Practice at the Manchester School of Art will lead a discussion focused on methodologies in art and design practice-based research. This will be ideal for first years who are still thinking through their methodology\, but you also might find it useful if you are at a later stage in your PhD and are returning to write or edit methodology informed parts of your thesis. \n\n\n\nPlease come to this session prepared with ideas for interesting readings or reflection on art and design practice-based methodologies. Sara also wanted to encourage you to read this chapter before the session so that we could discuss it:Vear\, C. (2022) The Routledge International Handbook of Practice-Based Research. Milton: Taylor & Francis Group. Available at: http://public.eblib.com/choice/PublicFullRecord.aspx?p=6818293 (Accessed: June 17\, 2025). \n\n\n\nChapter 3.1 Methods pp 468-492 \n\n\n\nEmail Nicola if you’d like to come in person\, as we usually provide refreshments.

SUMMARY:Critical Thinking and Critical Reading
DESCRIPTION:GE 2.06 and on Teams. \n\n\n\nWithin this session we will discuss easily memorable approaches to engaging in critical thinking around your own reading of published research\, with a view to building skills and abilities in critiquing work ahead of incorporation into your own thesis. To complement this\, we will engage in the critical reading and deconstruction of an easy to read paper from linguistics\, exploring how even published papers of limited value and argumentation can be published\, and the danger in relying on\, or trusting everything written in black and white. Derek (who is running the class) will provide the paper for reading and critiquing at least a week before the session\, so please ensure you have signed up well in advance in order to receive the paper for critique.
