Upcoming Webinars | May 2021

This May we have three (3) webinars as part of our free weekly webinar series. We are taking a week off for the Raya break, but there will be five (5) webinars in June - so plenty to keep you thinking as we head towards the halfway mark for 2021.

April's webinars are for mid-journey and end-journey research candidates; but early-stage researchers are welcome to listen in too as these issues will apply 'sooner-or-later'.

Wednesday 5 May 2021 | How to Take Offline Research to Online 

Challenges with lockdowns, intra and inter-district movement restrictions, and even new SOP’s, have disrupted much of our face-to-face research – especially interviews and focus groups. The response; move what we can to online-means, to continue our research. This webinar will explore some of the issues associated with pivoting offline to online; ethics, observation, structure, engagement, and simply getting yourself (and participants) in the right headspace.

Wednesday 19 May 2021 | Research Self-Progress Evaluation

This webinar will employ a visual tool for evaluating your PhD progress. We will explore questions to determine your progress, pivots, and key directions. It will help you take stock of your progress, the changes experienced along the journey, and areas where you still need to go deeper. Ideally, you should be at least a year or more into your PhD, but this can be applied to candidates at any level of progress.

Preparing for Your Viva

The doctoral viva can be a daunting experience for which you need to be well-prepared. This webinar will de-mystify the viva process & requirements, & provide you with useful guidance on preparing for the big day. You'll also hear examples of real questions & experiences from recent successful viva's across different disciplines, & benefit from the opportunity to participate in a mock viva opportunity.

Statement of Commitment on Climate Change (The Third Degree)

Statement of Commitment on Climate Change   The Third Degree acknowledges the scientific consensus regarding the existence of climate change and the substantial contribution the human population is now making to this via our greenhouse gas emissions.   Climate change is one of the biggest global health threats of the twenty-first century. Current international carbon reduction commitments are nowhere near enough to avoid this threat. Despite the urgent need for steep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to avoid dangerous climate change, the level of global emissions continues to increase. The threat to future generations grows larger with every passing year.   The current generation of adults has a responsibility to do everything we possibly can to protect the children of today and tomorrow from dangerous climate change. Hence it is of utmost importance that climate change is included as an urgent priority area for advocacy, research, policy and practice...
