Skills Awareness for Graduate Education: Postgraduate Training
Welcome to the SAGE website. Here you will find information about the various training courses run for postgraduates in the School of Arts, Histories and Cultures. Many of our courses are also open to students from SLLC and CHSTM.
SAGE Email List
If you aren't already on the SAGE EMAIL LIST, you can sign up by emailing Emily Bannister or by going to Subscriber's Corner, and signing in using your preferred email address (you will need to choose a password). When you get to the Subscriber's Corner homepage, click "All Lists" then "Submit" on the dropdown menu to the left of the screen, and then add yourself to SAHC-SAGE-PGR (if you are a PhD or MPhil student) or SAHC-SAGE-PGT (if you are a MA student.)
You can also unsubscribe from the list if you choose. If you do, please remember that this may mean that you miss out on important information about training and research events in the School. If you find the number of emails sent by SAGE to be too many, you can always set up a filter so that emails are diverted straight into a folder and look at them once a week or so.
Training Provision
For MA students, we run a SAGE MA Course alongside your Core Course or RTU. You can find out more about the sessions by following the link. None of these sessions are compulsory for MA students in SAHC, so feel free to come to as many or as few as you think will be useful to you. We will also run a course called "Speed Research Design" in January 2010, which will take you through the whole process of developing a research question, carrying out research, reporting your research and having it assessed. This course will run over two days in the week beginning 25 January, and you will be able to book onto it through the Electronic Booking system from late November.
For PhD students, we run (with the School of Language, Literatures and Cultures) a seminar course on Conceptual Skills. You can find the programme here, and will need to book onto the Conceptual Skills seminars one week in advance through the Electronic Booking system.
Other training sessions and events will be run throughout the year, and will be advertised on this website. These will include workshops on Organising a Conference, Publishing in Journals, Voice Projection, Oral Histories, Creating a Digital Archive, and many others. You are also warmly invited to involve yourself in the School's vibrant research culture. For a list of research seminars, conferences, and student-organised events in SAHC, click here.
Lastly, if you are a PhD or MPhil student and would like to be involved in running an event, have an idea for a training session which is not currently offered, or simply want some advice about how to access training, please email me on Emily Bannister
