From the beginning of the cooperation, students have been very interested in expanding the topic covered in the workshop and analysing it in more depth. Some students have subsequently had Natallia Katenka as a second supervisor for their Master's thesis and spent a few months at URI doing research. During their stays in Kingston, they have also had the opportunity to expand their knowledge through additional courses on statistics and quantative methods. In the coming years, the joint supervision of Master's theses will be expanded. There are also plans for US students to participate in the workshop, and for it to be further developed into a more comprehensive COIL module.
From the master class to joint research
A successful joint research project between the two professors – the Dynamic Networks Research Group – has also emerged from this teaching collaboration. Together with the research assistant, Jan-Hendrik Schünemann, Natallia Katenka and Natalie Ribberink supervise Master's students who excel in the workshop and are interested in covering the research topic as part of their Master's thesis. Extracts from some of these Master's theses were presented for the first time at international academic conferences in 2018 and published in a journal the following year. Additional papers are currently under review with international journals. The workshop alumni now include two students who are currently pursuing an academic career. One of them has Natallia Katenka as their joint supervisor for their doctoral thesis; the other is completing a doctorate at a British university.
