Derek Hutcheson, KS Vice Dean for Doctoral Education<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are very pleased this month to welcome Ewa Lantz, the Faculty\u2019s new Research Liaison Officer (Forskningshandl\u00e4ggare<\/em>). Ewa joins us from Ume\u00e5 University, where she worked at the Research Support and Collaboration Office, and from which she obtained a PhD in economic history in 2018. We look forward to benefiting from her extensive experience from three perspectives: as research administrator, former doctoral student, and qualified academic. You can read more about her in an interview below.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Derek Hutcheson, KS Vice Dean for Doctoral Education<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The greatest honour as Vice Dean for Doctoral Education is to be present at the public defence of a doctoral dissertation, the examination for the university\u2019s highest-ranking degree. In the 17 months since I took up the role, ten PhD theses have been publicly defended in the Faculty (including three in collaboration with Roskilde University in Denmark). Each of these occasions has been scientifically probing and academically stimulating. Thanks to our colleagues in digital learning who have ensured their online streaming, as well as the excellent organisational support of our research education administrators, these occasions have retained an element of ceremony even under the difficult circumstances of the Corona restrictions. We wish all our recent doctoral graduates well in their future careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We now have five doctoral subjects in the Faculty of Culture and Society, with around 35 full-time doctoral students. Our two newest doctoral students \u2013 Rachel Doherty (Global Politics) and Valon Junuzi (IMER) will commence on 1 February. We welcome them to the university and hope that they will have a happy and productive time with us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We would not be able to aspire to such high academic standards without the collective efforts of our doctoral students, supervisors and doctoral education co-ordinators. Following the restructuring of 2019-20, significant responsibility for doctoral education and doctoral students\u2019 career planning now lies with the departments\u2019 Advisory Committees of Supervisors. The faculty\u2019s Board of Research and Doctoral Education (FFN in Swedish) has recently established an Advisory Committee for Doctoral Education (KFKS). This aims to connect the departments and the faculty in the strategic planning of doctoral education matters. I am grateful to my colleagues Maja Povrzanovic Frykman, Per-Markku Ristilammi and Pille Pruulmann Vengerfeldt \u2013 respectively the doctoral education co-ordinators in GPS, US and K3 \u2013 for their always-insightful input, as we work together in this new structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All these structures exist for one key purpose: to support high-quality doctoral research, and train doctoral students (who are an integral part of the university\u2019s academic community) for future careers. Last semester we focused on mapping out doctoral taught courses for the next 2-3 years. Now we turn our attention to further priority areas: improving the administrative support structure; streamlining guidelines on doctoral studies; and developing proposals for research schools, to place doctoral education on a firmer long-term financial footing. Many of you have highlighted in dialogues that you would like more practical support in your roles as supervisors and doctoral students. Building on what we had started just before the pandemic hit, this year we plan to develop mentoring for supervisors and commence a new cycle of the Hands-On Teaching programme for doctoral students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since this is published in the week of 25 January, a celebratory date (Burns Night) in my homeland of Scotland, I end with the words of its national poet, Robert Burns. As we commence another year of doctoral education and hope that we will soon be seeing each again other in person and able to get back to our full range of research activities, \u2018anticipation forward points the view<\/em>\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ber\u00e4tta lite kort om dig sj\u00e4lv \u2013 vem \u00e4r du och vad har du gjort tidigare?<\/strong>

Just nu bor jag i Ume\u00e5 d\u00e4r jag fram tills \u00e5rsskiftet arbetade p\u00e5 enheten f\u00f6r forskningsst\u00f6d och samverkan p\u00e5 Ume\u00e5 Universitet. P\u00e5 samma universitet disputerade jag 2018 inom \u00e4mnet ekonomisk historia. Mitt forskningsintresse grundar sig i m\u00e4nniskans relation till landskapet. Avhandlingen behandlade konflikter om naturresurser i s\u00e5gverksindustrins produktionskedja l\u00e4ngst med \u00c5ngerman\u00e4lven under perioden 1863-1906. Innan jag flyttade till Ume\u00e5 arbetade jag p\u00e5 rektors kansli p\u00e5 h\u00f6gskolan Kristianstad som samordnare av kvalitetsfr\u00e5gor. D\u00e4r har jag gjort merparten av min grundutbildning i historia och geografi. Jag \u00e4r f\u00f6dd i Warszawa, uppvuxen i Olofstr\u00f6m. Hela min familj ser fram emot att jag, min man Gunnar, v\u00e5rt barn Siv och min tax Rosa ska flytta till Malm\u00f6 under april\/maj. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vad ser du mest fram emot i ditt nya jobb?<\/strong>

Jag ser fram emot att l\u00e4ra k\u00e4nna Malm\u00f6 universitet och att kunna arbeta l\u00e5ngsiktigt \u2013 att hitta behov, utveckla, tydligg\u00f6ra och skapa bryggor mellan verksamheter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vilka omr\u00e5den tycker du \u00e4r viktigast att satsa p\u00e5 f\u00f6r att uppn\u00e5 en h\u00f6g kvalitet i forskarutbildningen?<\/strong>

Tydlighet, struktur och gemenskap. Det \u00e4r viktigt att alla parter \u00e4r medvetna om vad som sker, n\u00e4r och varf\u00f6r. Det skapar trygghet och ger en bra arbetsmilj\u00f6. Det \u00e4r \u00e4ven viktigt att det finns gemensamma uttalade strukturer d\u00e4r delmoment och ansvarsomr\u00e5den definieras. Detta ger ocks\u00e5 trygghet och god arbetsmilj\u00f6. Slutligen – gemenskap. Det \u00e4r viktigt att k\u00e4nna en gemenskap med samh\u00e4llet, att vi som forskare inte \u00e4r en isolerad \u00f6 d\u00e4r allt annat finns p\u00e5 distans. Det \u00e4r \u00e4ven viktigt att det finns en gemenskap med universitetet och alla st\u00f6dstrukturer, att vi \u00e4r alla en del av samma organisation.
