Inequalities & PGR Wellbeing

Challenges to wellbeing are a frequent refrain in narratives about postgraduate research (PGR) study, but these challenges are not experienced equitably. However, our understanding about inequalities surrounding PGR wellbeing remain under-researched. This session will examine the existing evidence base to map what is and is not yet known about PGR wellbeing, and share some emergent reflections from primary research about disparities in doctoral/PGR wellbeing.
This will include, inter alia, distinct challenges related to gender, care, social class, and international student experiences. The session aims to advance the dialogue on equity-focussed research and generate insights about how to address issues through research and practice.
