Haven, T. (2025). It takes two flints to start a fire: A focus group study into PhD supervision for responsible research. Accountability in Research, 32(5), 717–740. https://doi.org/10.1080/08989621.2025.2457584

Our intention for the group is to host is a collegial meeting of the supervisor development community across disciplines and role types, and to support each other to engage with the literature regularly. Our meetings have been consciously designed to be developmental, inclusive and cooperative.
