To support supervisors in conceptualising doctoral supervision as an interactive process embedded in institutional practice;identifying and handling ethicial challenges that can emerge in the relationship/process.

Ethical issues in supervision; Learning environment; Institutional practices; supervision as mentoring; respoinsible research practice.
Many academics find doctoral supervision to be among the most rewarding aspects of their work. Similarly, doctoral students find supervisors' support to be the most important factor in their doctoral studies. A particular type of challenges in supervision are those that involve ethical issues. In the seminar we identify what are ethical issues in supervision, explore these in the light of research and cases, and identify ways in which to prevent and solve these issues. Focus of the seminar is primarily on the supervision relationship and supervision practices, not on research ethics. Relevant issues and personal experience will be discussed in interactive session and small groups.

Recognising ethical issue in the context of supervision.
Identifying analytical tools for handling ethcial issues in doctoral supervision.
Idenitfying implications of ethical issues for the doctoral process and for the practices of the research community at large, including supervisor role as mentor of future generations of researchers.
