MARUM Supervision Workshop
Intercultural competence in the supervision and guidance of early career researchers
Working and researching across cultures has its pitfalls and challenges. Diverse teams can work together more efficiently and trustfully if they understand both, their commonalities and their differences.
In this workshop, we will discuss challenges in supervising and mentoring ECR from diverse backgrounds. We will have a look at the many ways in which cultures (of countries, professions, organisations, regions, generations, …) shape our ways of feeling and thinking, evaluating and acting.
Our aim is to improve our skills in communicating successfully across cultures by focusing on how to build sustainable relationships, increase our ability to read between the lines, give feedback and deal with conflicts.
