Call for the Doctoral Masterclasses
Our doctoral masterclasses offer support and opportunities for feedback and participation, including: a designated academic to provide support and feedback throughout the conference and networking opportunities.
NOTE: PhD students can present in either the main conference OR the doctoral masterclasses, NOT BOTH. Please read the instructions below carefully. You will need to register/pay for the conference by the deadline to secure your place.
Choose either Option 1 OR Option 2:
Final-year PhD students and those who have completed their PhD within the last five years have the opportunity to submit full papersto the Early Career Researcher (ECR) Parallel Sessions held throughout Wednesday and Thursday. They will get feedback from designated persons in the conference who will attend their presentation and offer feedback following the session, as well as receiving feedback in the session from the audience. Papers that are not accepted for presentation in one of the sessions on 7–8 April 2027 will automatically be given a place in the doctoral masterclasses on Tuesday, 6 April 2027.
All doctoral students are invited to submit an abstract for the doctoral masterclasses on 6 April 2027, unless they have submitted a paper to the main conference (option 1 above). Students will be invited to present their own work and will receive feedback from faculty and other students. Students are expected to attend all sessions on 6 April and will only be awarded a certificate of attendance on this basis. Students are also expected to attend the whole conference.
