Disastrous Doctorates is an annual multi-day symposium for PhD students enrolled at a New Zealand university and who are directly studying disaster-related topics. It is organised by PhD students for PhD students. The symposium provides a forum for students to network and learn from each other and subject experts, to share best practices and learn helpful tips on managing a PhD career and beyond.
