LukeI haven’t had a journal article accepted for publication in six years. Until today, by Studies in Graduate and Postdoctoral Education…Celbis, O.; van de Laar, M.; Windsor, W. L.; Papatsiba, V.; Ofosu-Ampong, K.; Kurawa, G.; Sadat Bole, A.; Ani-Ampsonah, Mary; Xu, LinlinTowards an ecological systems approach to doctoral student resilience: qualitative evidence from the Covid-19 pandemic.I’ll share the open access version when it’s ready, but here’s the abstract:  Authors:  Purpose This study contributes to the growing body of literature documenting responses to short- and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on doctoral students. We examine support practices at different levels of the system in which doctoral students are embedded, drawing on Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems model to better understand how these contribute to doctoral students’ degree of resilience under stress. Design Using paired online interviews, we explore the experiences of 21 doctoral students from 7 universities across Europe, Africa and Asia. Findings We find that support of supervisors at the microsystem level was a pivotal mediating factor in explaining to what extent the negative impacts of the pandemic were experienced by the doctoral students in our sample. At the same time, factors at the systemic level, such as weak infrastructure for online education, and limited incentives for supervisors to engage in additional mentoring beyond supervision, affected the repertoire of actions available to students at lower levels of the support system. In less resourced settings where systemic constraints were felt particularly strongly, students had to self-facilitate sources of resilience, resorting to peer and external mentors’ support at the mesosystem level of their environment.  <a href="https://c.im/tags/covid19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#covid19</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pandemic</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#research</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HigherEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HigherEducation</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PhD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PhD</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/postgraduate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#postgraduate</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/resilience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resilience</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bronfenbrenner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bronfenbrenner</a>

LukeI couldn’t agree more on the topic of mandatory training for supervisors (and not because we’ve had that here for as long as I remember): it provides a basic level of assurance and support to new supervisors of our postgraduate researchers. (The full report also points to the value of team supervision and the time pressure supervisors are feeling which I could also comment on at length!)<a href="https://wonkhe.com/wonk-corner/theres-new-research-on-how-pgr-students-are-supervised/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://wonkhe.com/wonk-corner/theres-new-research-on-how-pgr-students-are-supervised/</a><a href="https://c.im/tags/postgraduate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#postgraduate</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HigherEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HigherEducation</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HigherEd</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PostgraduateResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PostgraduateResearch</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DoctoralEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoctoralEducation</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Research</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/supervision" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#supervision</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ProfessionalDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProfessionalDevelopment</a>

LukeEditing a manuscript today (part of a big global survey with follow up interviews) on doctoral student experience in the pandemic and struck (not for the first time) by the longer term psychological impacts of lockdown coping strategies on students, supervisors and administrators. TL:DR There’s a whole boatload of burnout out there, even amongst the ‘resilient’ ones. <a href="https://c.im/tags/covid19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#covid19</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HigherEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HigherEducation</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HigherEd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HigherEd</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/phd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#phd</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PostgraduateResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PostgraduateResearch</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DoctoralEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoctoralEducation</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Postgraduate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Postgraduate</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gradschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gradschool</a>
