A creative and supportive workshop for anyone about to start their PhD At the start of a doctorate metaphors appear to abound, with casual and repeated references to ‘journeys’, ‘rollercoasters’, ‘marathons’ and more. This workshop is designed to provide an informal and playful time and space at the start of the doctorate to explore metaphors. We will critically evaluate the metaphors we have already encountered, and that may be established within the institution, and how we want to position ourselves in relation to these metaphors. Plus, we will have time to reflectively and reflexively create metaphors that resonate for us, as individuals, considering how these metaphors might support us through the doctoral ‘journey’. |

Dr Julia Hayes will lead this session focusing on imposter syndrome. She will explore what imposter syndrome is and how it can affect the feelings and performance of people on a day to day basis. The session will give participants the opportunity to reflect upon the ways in which imposter feelings affect them, before Julia describes the ways in which it can be managed. Participants will leave the session with a greater awareness of the situations that increase their imposter feelings and have strategies to manage them. A teams link will be sent to all those who have signed up a few days before the workshop. |
