Cluster Reps

WGSSS Cluster Reps are a vital conduit for comments/ideas from fellow WGSSS-funded students across the academic schools and pathways. They play a crucial role in conveying comments and proposals in order to help enhance research training and the overall PhD student experience. 


The Role of the Cluster Rep

  • To complete project-based work to shape and develop the WGSSS. 
  • To involve other WGSSS students in providing feedback, opinion and ideas.   
  • To attend and participate in online termly meetings with the Cluster Lead and WGSSS Team
  • To attend an annual meeting with the WGSSS Director.  

The role of cluster rep is for a 12 month term. This means that new students have the chance to get involved each year. However, reps may seek to be re-nominated for a second term. 

Cluster reps should not be asked to become involved with other students’ personal problems, academic difficulties or individual disputes.
