When supervisors' guidance is ignored

The most important decision that grad students have to make is who to work with as their supervisor. A common joke in grad school is that graduate student-supervisor relationships outlast many marriages. Your choice of supervisor helps determine the trajectory of your graduate and postgraduate careers with supervisors.

So on this episode we talk about what its like to be a supervisor. What to expect, how to be ethical, and what its like to be supervisors as racialized faculty. Joining us is Dr. Nhung Tran, Associate Professor of History at the University of Toronto.
