Hi everyone, my name is Seb Bierema, and I am a third year PhD student in the school of Political Sciences and Sociology. If I get elected as Postgrad Rep on Údarás na hOllscoile, my main goal will be to ensure that Postgraduate students get paid for all teaching and academic duties they are expected to carry out, and to push for fairer, standardised, and documented guidelines of employment conditions. If your department expects you to teach, tutor, demonstrate labs, or grade assignments without pay, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
