Workshop: Supervising like a mentor: holding space for a learning conversation

This session is taking place as part of the Mentoring Residential but is also being offered as a stand alone hybrid session (in-person at SAMS or online) across the partnership. If you would like to attend the full residential as well as this individual session, please register your interest by emailing events.lta@uhi.ac.uk.

Both mentoring and postgraduate supervision are educational practices and mentoring offers us pedagogies we can deploy in supervision to engage, co-create, and form learning alliances with our students. Understanding what is learned, who learns, when, and crucially how learning takes place in the doctorate, helps us to see many places that we can ‘plug in’ our mentoring skills, whilst being mindful of the power, and position tensions we experience. This workshop will help to surface how we can increase learning for students, through a 'mentor-like' approach.

Presenter

• Dr Kay Guccione, Head of Research Culture & Researcher Development, University of Glasgow Staff Profile |  LinkedIn

My teaching is research education focused, and can be understood as having strategic impact on the enhancement of doctoral student learning and doctoral learning environments, and in parallel, on the enhancement of academic practice through the development of supervisors, research leadership, and through the career structures and policies which enable this development.

In 2018 I won a prestigious National Teaching Fellowship in recognition of my international reputation and strategic impact. I was also the first winner to gain this recognition in the field of Researcher Education.

In 2019 I was awarded Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. This recognises "those who can demonstrate sustained and effective strategic leadership of higher education practice, with extensive impact on high-quality learning, beyond their institution".
