What's the context? Are you in a PhD now and looking to guide it or are you wanting to start one on a particular topic?

-
But can I?
-
What exactly do you want to propose? "Can I include Profs A and B on my project?"
-
No I was invited to a meeting by a methods group. They invited me to present my stuff
-
You want to ask your supervisor permission to present your stuff to another group? That's exactly right and you should ask for advice too.
-
it's not about *whether* to ask, but *how to* ask :D :D :D without getting dismissed quickly
-
Just say "I was invited to present at blah blah" then they will say something then you will say something. It's a super easy one.
-
They will be very pleased with you. I can't image a situation where you being invited is in any way bad.
-
Sorry if this is too personal or private but why do you feel like you might be dismissed. This is a bad sign. Do they dismiss you often?

Also quite often students aren't aware (how can they be) of politics & other reasons why perhaps it's best not to collaborate with somebody.
-
But it's still fine to ask, people won't hold it against you for not knowing at first.
-
That's why I said "how can they be" although like you say eventually you are expected to pick up on some stuff.

Good advice but a PhD student should also take ownership of their research (or so I think)
-
Oh, certainly. I wasn't trying to imply they are mutually exclusive.
