The PGR Sensitive Subjects Collective
Who we are
The PGR Sensitive Subjects Collective creates a supportive community for postgraduate researchers working on sensitive or potentially traumatic research areas. Whether you're studying violence, illness, abuse, migration, mental health or other challenging issues, this space is for you to decompress and connect with fellow PGRs conducting emotionally demanding research.
Why Attend
- Connect with researchers across disciplines who understand the emotional weight of studying difficult subjects
- Help shape the future of our monthly meetups
- Enjoy complimentary refreshments in a relaxed setting
- Share your thoughts on what would make this network valuable to YOU
