Reflections on the Doctoral Consortium

This paper provides a reflective commentary on the British HCI Doctoral Consortium from the perspective of the Organising Committee. We discuss the approach to holding a Human Computer Interaction Doctoral Consortium in July 2020 and the outcomes. We reflect on our lived experience pre, during and post event, flagging issues and perspectives that emerged from the day, and possible implications for doctoral consortiums and training for HCI.
