ThemesPhD-pizza - Gathering for PhD-candidates to talk freely
What is this about?
On a Friday night the head of the department orders a bunch of pizza's for the PhD-candidates and leaves the office, so the PhD-candidates can talk freely about what they encounter in their work, without the possibility that the boss might overhear.
Why is this important?
The head of the department stimulates an open conversation among the PhD-candidates. This way they can share their worries, maybe help each other, or empower each other to take action upon the issues they encounter in their work. For example, PhD-candidates might experience similar issues without knowing, because they usually don't talk about such issues at work. PhD-students might find themselves in a vulnerable position and therefore might not feel safe to talk about issues at work. It is easier to talk with peers without have the boss around.
For whom is this important?
