Not Just Another PhD: April 2014
http://notjustanotherphd.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Not Just Another PhD. Monday, 21 April 2014. This week is my last week in the department. My last ever Monday sitting at this desk, looking out the window across the city, thinking about coffee time at 11am. This is the last 'first day of the week' in what has been my home from home for the last three years. I never thought I'd be sad about getting over a Monday, but today is teaching me the meaning of 'bittersweet'. Wednesday, 2 April 2014. Until I hand in my thesis, and 27 days. I do know, though, that...

Not Just Another PhD: The final countdown....
http://notjustanotherphd.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-final-countdown.html
Not Just Another PhD. Wednesday, 2 April 2014. It seems like my last post should be much longer ago than January. Life is just so busy. As a third year PhD student. But, now I have an afternoon to breathe, I wanted to write some more. Today, I'm writing to you from the position of having 162 days. Until I hand in my thesis, and 27 days. Until I leave this city forever. Take a minute to let that sink in. What's more important - career progression or location? Who is going to be the main bread-winner?

Not Just Another PhD: The Literature Review - Part One
http://notjustanotherphd.blogspot.com/2012/05/literature-review-part-one.html
Not Just Another PhD. Monday, 21 May 2012. The Literature Review - Part One. As with many universities, at my School, your first year as a PhD student is sort of like probation. You get a chance to learn the ropes (or to try, anyway), to start figuring out what your question is and to generally feel overwhelmed by what you've signed up for. However, as probation starts to draw to a close, you remember that little paragraph somewhere in the postgraduate student handbook you read months. Right now, though,...

Not Just Another PhD. Sunday, 10 May 2015. A PhD: Is this the cost of your mental health? Before you read this post I want you to think about the PhD students you know. Think about the post-docs. Think about those you consider your peers in the academic world. Think about yourself and how you relate to them. What does that picture look like? In a blog post on the Guardian website, an anonymous academic documented the culture of acceptance. Around mental health problems, where they describe the following:.

Not Just Another PhD: January 2014
http://notjustanotherphd.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Not Just Another PhD. Monday, 6 January 2014. The Third Year of Your PhD. First of all, happy new year! I hope you had a particularly enjoyable winter break, and if you're back to work today - like I am - you're not struggling too much with it. I have been thinking about blogging often, but it's perhaps somewhat telling that when my last post was the 23 of September, I'm going to tell you that third year will be busy! I'm not telling you this to boast about my freakishly busy semester, though I am proud ...
