Amy Zile is a postgraduate researcher at the University of East Anglia and is conducting interviews with PhD supervisors as part of her project entitled, ‘Supervision of PhD Students: Challenges, Support and Perceptions’. As part of her PhD she is looking to interview supervisors of PhD students to better understand how they perceive the supervisory relationship, the barriers and enablers to effective supervision, and the institutional support for those supervising PhD students. The interviews are being conducted online to allow participation from all over the UK.
