Supervisors & managers

Tariq has been selected for a social science doctoral programme. He tells his supervisor that he is unable to use his writing hand.

Questions it may be beneficial to ask

  • Researchers usually take notes during supervision sessions. What alternative arrangements can be made?
  • What impact will the extensive writing demanded by research have on the researcher?
  • His fieldwork will usually involve note-taking. How can we make sure that he is able to participate and succeed?
  • Has he talked with the disability service about his requirements?
  • Teaching and presenting are requirements of the research degree programme. Are there particular issues for him in those situations?
