Supervised peer consultation for female researchers
Are you a woman employed as a Postdoc or an Assistant Professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology? Would you like to have the opportunity together with other colleagues to discuss situations in your workplace, exchange experiences and exchange ideas on solutions to difficult work situations? Would you like to make changes in your work situation or your work-life balance? Then a supervised peer consultation group might be just the thing for you.
The supervised peer consultation sessions will focus on topics beyond the content of your work, on topics related to creating the conditions for doing your work well and with pleasure. Peer consultation can help you with for example:
• Work-life choices: you make conscious choices in your private and professional life so that you experience less work pressure.
• Future: you have a clearer picture of which steps you will take in order to realize your ambitions.
• Visibility: you make yourself visible in your work in a way that best suits you, for example in networking situations.
• Techniques for discussions: you clarify more easily what you want in discussions with both your manager and your colleagues, and during negotiations, presentations, fund-raising or media interviews.
Note: These are only examples. As a participant, you are free to determine the topic(s) that interest you.
Method
Peer consultation is a method in which colleagues advise each other periodically in solving work-related issues. Your own work experience as a Postdoc or Assistant Professor is essential. In peer consultation meetings, there is no hierarchal relationship among the participants. Based on reflective assignments and other methods, you will enter a discussion with a fixed group of participants. If helpful, role play will be used to practice situations. To learn working with this method, the sessions will be supervised by an experienced supervisor.
The effectiveness of peer consultation is dependent on the participation of all group members. If you register for this program, we expect you to show up in all meetings.
Program and content
The supervised peer consultation program consists of eight meetings of two hours. You will work in a group of six colleagues, with one experienced supervisor. After the introductory meeting, in each of the following six sessions of two hours a case, handed in by one of the participants, will be discussed in depth. Experience shows that the themes discussed in one participant’s case, apply to the lives and work of the other participants as well.
Target group
This course is for female TU/e researchers at Postdoc or Assistant Professor level.
Study load
Face-to-face instruction: 16 hours
Total study load: 24 hours
